I fell in love with this sign today at the vintage shop, and I wanted to send you the picture I took.
I wanted to buy the sign and put it up in our house. I want to sit next to you on the sand and listen to the waves, and be close enough to lean on your shoulder for a moment or two.
And maybe whisper how much I love you and this life we’ve built together.
But instead of saying, “I love you,” I would have said, “You, me and the sea.”
Low and thick with emotion.
And you would have looked at me with a knowing, a complete understanding, in your eyes, and brushed your lips gently against my forehead.
And my eyes would have shone brightly with the diamond-tears that only a lifetime together can express.
—
That’s how it would have been, my dear.
