A good thing

V --

I rarely bite but I pinch (you) a lot.
I do not mean to hurt you; rather I am sometimes filled with such overwhelming affection for you that I can't help but pinch a feel. It's not all the time that I can fling my arms around you for a big hug.

The past several days, weeks even, have been pretty rough for you but you are holding up quite nicely.
I would like to think you are the strongest you have ever been what with work and certain disappointments that have come your way. I'm proud of you, my love.
I am confident that you will get past these hurdles and emerge.
Believe that in time, we will be laughing about them over beer or a cup of coffee.

While I would like you to press on unflinching, this I ask of you: Don't be too hard on yourself.
Because at the end of the day, more than anything, you need you on your side.

I love you, sweetheart.

You hold on to a good thing. And never let go.
You are my good thing.
