No painter could ever paint you right. No brushstroke has the accuracy to portray every line and pore on your face. No combination of paint could ever detail the true colour of your eyes or even your lips. There is yet to be made a canvas as soft as your skin.
If only, oh, if only I knew how to depict you with words, maybe no other portrait would be needed.
I am over the moon to be celebrating our first anniversary together today, my beautiful girl! Here’s to a lifetime of anniversaries and milestones to come!
It might seem like we’re far apart right now but in my heart, you couldn’t be closer. I would rather have you miles away than not have you in my life at all, my dear.
We might be having to celebrate apart and somewhat different to usual this year but know that in my heart, you’re still just as dear. Happy birthday, my love.
My love, today we celebrate another trip around the sun and what a wonderful year it has been.
May this birthday of yours be a particularly great one that leaves many happy memories and joy that continue warming your heart long after your special day is over. You deserve everlasting happiness, my sweetheart.
It might have taken a romantic relationship to make us realize that we’re better off as just friends, but that doesn’t make you any less special to me.
I wouldn’t ever want to be without you in my life, my dear.
You could be on the other side of the world and still, I wouldn’t feel disconnected from you. You’ll always be right here in my heart. Happy birthday, my love.
If I reach out my arms and can’t feel you, then you’re already too far away from me, my love.
I’m wishing you a happy birthday from afar this year, my dear, and hoping that your special day is still a wonderful one, even without me there with you.
