To my wife:

Is it narcissistic to hope someone would ever be inspired to write something like this about me? Just through the undeserving prideful craving of wanting this, am I invalidating everything this person is saying?

I wish I were a tenth of the person you seem to see me as. Then I wouldn't feel as though I fall so very short in returning it, at least in proof of how I feel about you.

I have toh that I'll never be able to meet. ❤️

(that last line is a Robert Jordan reference, so don't worry about it not making sense if you haven't read The Wheel of Time... "toh" is a word from a culture within that world meaning a sort of spiritual/social debt)
