Family Time Series: Late Night Talk

Transcript

You were everything to me. I felt more alive since we met than I ever felt in my entire life. I want you to come closer to me, baby.

Come here. I love you so much. You know I mean it.

Your kisses are so soft. It tastes so sweet. No, baby, you don't do that, please.

Well, you know why. You're gonna wake the baby up. No, I just want to enjoy you right now.

I think being a father is one of the most amazing things in the world. Being a family man. Yeah, what's on your mind, baby? Listen to baby.

Yeah, it's my turn. I'll get up, change the diaper, get a bottle. No, you just want to talk.

Okay. Yeah, we can talk, baby. No, I'm up.

I promise I'm up. I'm just a minute out of sleep. What's on your mind? Of course I could tell you how much you mean to me.

You made me literally the happiest man on this earth. You know I love you so much, right? I gave up on so much, including myself at one point.

There were so many dark days, and there was a lot of ambiguity associated with just connections. I've been through a lot. I didn't know what true kindness was and nurturing and submissiveness until I met you.

I mean, you checked off every box on my list. And I saw you for who you really were. And that's the thing I love about you so much.

You're like just an amazing person. You've always been such an amazing person. I love your smile.

I love your voice. I love those cute little dimples that you get every time you smile, and then your stomach hurts. I love the way you kiss me.

I love the way you look at me. I love the way that you love me and our baby. It's so selfless.

It's so gentle. It's so authentic. I wouldn't trade you for any woman in this world.

And no woman in this world can compare to you. I love you so much, baby. Nah, I'm sorry, love.

I'm just grateful that God placed a woman like you in my life. A lot of times I feel like I just don't deserve someone so good. And it's not because I'm not a good man or I think you're better than me in any way.

It's just that the level of love, patience, and understanding that you have, I've never seen it in my life. And sometimes it's just hard to comprehend. You feel like more than a woman sometimes.

Well, what I mean by that is, you're a great mom. You're a great wife. You're a great sister.

You're a great daughter. You're so amazing. Anything you put your mind to, you excel at.

You don't just thrive, you excel. Anything you add your value to, it increases. I knew your worth from the moment that I saw you.

It was raining. I was coming outside the building you was trying to come in. It was a U-Haul truck pulled up to the front door.

And I saw you with your natural curly hair and that beautiful smile when you looked up. It was like everything in the world stopped. Time froze.

And I don't know what happened in that moment, but something magical happened. It was like a knowing in me. I knew that you was going to be somebody important in my life.

I knew that you was going to be a part of my life forever. After we moved all your stuff into the house, we just laughed and joked and talked all night watching movies. You remember the movie that we watched? Yeah, Boomerang with Eddie Murphy.

It felt so magical. It felt so surreal. And from that day to this day, we've been pretty much inseparable.

How do I know I love you? Easy. I want you to know that my love for you is beyond words.

I want you to know that I'd do anything and everything for you. And from the moment I laid my eyes on you, I fell in love with you. I just wanted to protect you.

I wanted to shield you from the world. I've been through so much in your past and I wanted to erase all the negativity. Give you new memories.

Make you a mother. Make you a wife. And love you unconditionally.

I know that the men in your past, they didn't respect you. I know you dealt with levels of abuse. I wanted to show you that I was different.

I wanted to show you that I could be different. We can be different to anything that we have experienced in life. Well, you know my past, baby.

I've been through a lot. I've seen a lot of negativity in relationships. No, I'm not saying that.

I think we all have our role to play in every connection. We all have a role in the demise of a relationship. But one thing I can say is I've never been a cheater.

And I've never been a liar. And some of the stuff that I experienced in my past relationships, I know I didn't deserve. And I would never wish it on anybody.

That's why I can't imagine losing you. I feel complete all on my own, but you add so much value to my life. You make me feel whole.

Feels like home. You make me want to be a better man. Yeah.

Yeah, I definitely remember that, baby. I remember telling you that I felt a sense of urgency three months into the relationship. And I recall you asking me, what does that mean? What does that mean? And you was looking up at me.

And you was wrapped tightly in my arms. And I kissed you softly on your forehead. I looked you in your eyes.

And I held it for an unusually long time. And I said, I gotta prepare myself. Because you're gonna be my wife.

And a tear rolled down your eyes. And I wiped it away. And I kissed you softly on that spot where the tear once was.

We made love all through the night. I get so lost and caught up in these moments that sometimes I don't want them to end. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like reality.

It feels more than real. It's not a day that goes by and I fall to my knees. And I thank God for blessing me with you.

You were everything to me. And. ..

every relationship that I ever had it just seems so dull and superficial in comparison to what we had. And it makes me feel like I've never been alive. It's like I was on autopilot my whole life until I met you.

And for the first time in my life, I'm finally living. I'm finally alive. I'm finally free.

I love you so much. Thank you for being my wife. Thank you for blessing me with this beautiful family.

Thank you for being so kind and gentle and sweet. Thank you for being so loving and understanding. Thank you for being Thank you for being patient with me even when I'm even when I don't know how to be patient or understanding with myself.

Even when I'm in my ego. Even when my pride gets too big. It's like you don't know how to match a negative energy.

Your beauty lies in your submissiveness. Your kindness and your gentleness. You speak so soft and so lovely.

It melts all my vulnerabilities and insecurities away. It made me question everything that I've ever done. And I say, how could I ever be sad with this woman? This amazing, beautiful gift.
