Dear Future Michael,<\/p>\n
Starla is trying<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t begrudge her the long hours,
\nor the overflowing emotions. Those
\nare why you fell for her in the first place.
\nA \u201ccolorful\u201d girl with a crazy perspective,
\nno truer partner could she have found,
\nthan you.<\/p>\n
She knows you\u2019re tired. She\u2019s tired too.
\nThe pair of you built a life together
\npulled straight from the ashes of
\nyour social lives and your time to sleep.
\nKeep working together. There\u2019s nothing
\nyou do better. <\/p>\n
She loves you. As much as the day you met.
\nMuch more, in fact, because
\nthat love grows each day. Every time you
\nhold her, kiss her, cheer her up
\nafter a bad day,
\nshe remembers what it felt like
\nto be seventeen and head over heels for
\nyou and only you. <\/p>\n
You are an amazing man. You have made her
\na happy woman, something she thought
\nshe would never be.
\nYou are loved.
\nYou are SO appreciated.
\nYou are the man of her dreams. <\/p>\n
Thank you Mike. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
