You are mine, and I am yours.

You are mine, and I am yours.

Not in a way that chains or cages, not in a way that suffocates or takes away, but in a way that feels like home. In a way that says, no matter where the world takes us, no matter how many miles stretch between us, my heart belongs to you, and yours belongs to me.

I don’t know if love is supposed to feel this deep, this consuming. But I know that when I look at you, I feel something more than love. Something bigger, something that makes the earth feel too small to contain it. I feel it in my bones, in my blood, in every breath I take—knowing that we belong to each other in a way that goes beyond time, beyond this life.

You are mine, and I am yours.

In every version of the universe, in every lifetime we could have lived, I know I would find you. I know I would choose you. Because my soul is not my own without you. Because every time I think of forever, it has your name written all over it.

I think about the way your voice wraps around my name, how it turns something ordinary into something sacred. I think about the way your hands know exactly where to hold, how your touch turns cold days into warmth, how your presence quiets all the noise in my head. I think about what it means to belong to someone—not in a way that takes away, but in a way that gives, in a way that makes me feel more like myself than I ever have before.

I don’t want a love that is light, that is fleeting, that fades when the world turns dark. I want a love that stays. A love that holds. A love that says, 'You are mine, and I am yours,' and means it. I want a love that feels like home, like shelter, like something I can close my eyes and rest inside of, knowing it will always be there.

I don’t know what life has planned for us. I don’t know how many storms we will have to face or how many obstacles will try to stand in our way. But I do know this—I am yours. In every way, in every moment, in every breath, I am yours. And I know that you are mine, just as much as I am yours.

No matter where this life takes us, no matter how much time passes, this will always be true.

I want to wake up to you every morning, to feel the warmth of your body beside mine, to hear your heartbeat as I lay my head against your chest. I want to memorize the way your lips curve when you smile, the way your eyes darken when you look at me like I am your entire world. I want to hold your hand as we grow old, as the seasons change, as time passes, knowing that no matter how much changes around us, we will always have this. We will always have each other.

I want to be the person you turn to when the world is too much. The one who holds you when you are tired, the one who listens when your soul is heavy, the one who reminds you that no matter how hard things get, you are not alone. I want to be your safe place, your constant, the person who loves you in ways you never knew love could exist.

There is a kind of belonging that is unspoken, a kind that does not need words to be understood. That is what we are. That is what we have. And I would not trade it for anything. You are mine, and I am yours, and that is enough for me. That is everything.

I want a love that is endless, that is timeless, that does not fear distance or time. A love that does not waver, does not break, does not leave. A love that withstands, that grows, that deepens with every passing day. A love that does not have to be questioned, because it is so certain, so deeply rooted, so undeniable that there is no room for doubt.

I think about what my life would be without you, and I don’t want to imagine it. I don’t want to know a world where you are not mine, where I do not get to love you with everything I am. I don’t want to know what it feels like to be without you, because even the thought of it is unbearable.

You are the love of my life. My heart, my soul, my forever. And if love were a promise, I would make it to you a thousand times over. I would choose you, in this life and in every life that comes after. I would choose you when the sun is shining, when the skies are dark, when the road is easy, when the path is hard. I would choose you because you are my home, my greatest love, my person.

You are mine, and I am yours. In every breath, in every heartbeat, in every lifetime, this will always be true.

Neta.
