Porcelain
To you, my love
On this, our wedding night, I am recalled. My dear, my wife, my love of my life. I will always remember the first time that I saw you, and how overcome I truly was with desire to hold this hand. How overcome I was with your beauty and poise and soul.
And I longed for this moment, this feeling, this promise to you. Protection and support, to shield you from pain. From the second I beheld you, I knew it was you.
To see my potential, as a man, as a lover, and a member of this world, all I needed was you. This hand. I knew you would complete me and lead me down the path of self actualization and belief in the good of people. As I now give my all to this life that you allowed me to see.
As I watch you sleep, as I have before, my heart is overjoyed and proud. So peaceful, so trusting, so serene. I knew the moonlight could never shine so beautiful on another item in this world, as it does on you. So pure and refined and majestic.
I hold your hand, and as I do, I am reminded of our first embrace, how nervous I was, how our hearts raced, our first grasp and tense, our hearts were in sync and racing and the blood was hot and fast and pure. Then all at once, the swell was released and we both fell limp into each other, as true lovers do. Your silent tears of joy, my silent fears fluttered away. Complete trust and embrace. I never knew how that was supposed to feel, other than how right it did. And nothing will ever compare.
And when I slid that ring on you finger, the one I hold in mine, I was so overcome that hot tears became my love as they fell for you over and over and again. I knew the deed was done, and we were each others, I yours and you, mine, forever. All that I’ve ever wanted.
And to think of the guys that could have had you, and how you’re with me. I don’t know how I got so lucky. But, you called to me, and I answered on my steed in my armor, and ready to save you from the tower guarded by that dragon. I am a knight, and you my damsel.
Now, in this hand, I place this note. So that forever knows how true my love is. On this the anniversary of our meeting, exactly one week ago. I will keep you safe.
And no matter how much dirt cascades over your tomb, you will always have this note to be a reminder of my love for you. Killing you was my noble sacrifice. This is how I will keep you safe. This is how I will give you life. My sweetest love, my Porcelain Wife.
