Amazing partner

I know you've been working hard, and you're a bit stressed, and you haven't had time to do all the things you probably should do. So let me help you, much the same as you helped me when I was in need.

Love can be work, but it's also the simplest of acts: vacuuming a dirty floor, scooping up cat litter, planting a garden, walking hand in hand, running entirely too far, patiently answering a question, cooking up a good meal with thoughtfulness, bringing you lasagna in the office during your likely all-nighter, getting you another round (as long as I was already getting up), and washing the dishes afterward. The joy is not just your expression of gratitude, but also in knowing I can offer you support, encouragement, nourishment, and respect, and in so doing, I grow as a person.

I only ask two things: first, do not take me for granted and second, be my leaning post when it's my turn to need support, encouragement, nourishment, and respect.

Respira. You can do this.
