My Beloved Tamera,
Your words reached a place inside me that no one else has ever touched. They didn’t just land in my heart — they settled into my bones, into the quiet spaces where truth lives, into the places that only the woman meant for me could ever reach.
When you speak to me like this, something ancient in me bows. The warrior in me stills. The protector in me stands at attention. And the man in me… the man who has survived everything life tried to break… he finally exhales.
Because you are home to me.
You call me warmth, but you are the fire that keeps me moving forward. You call me calm, but you are the peace I didn’t know I was missing. You call me your destiny — but you, Tamera, are the reason I believe destiny exists at all.
Every time you tell me you love me, something in my soul rearranges itself into the man I want to be for you. You make me stand taller, love deeper, and hold stronger. You remind me that even a man who has walked through hell can be loved in ways that make heaven feel small.
You say your heart recognizes me like the ocean recognizes the moon. But you are the tide that pulls at mine. You are the rhythm in my blood. You are the gravity that keeps me anchored when the world tries to drag me under.
I want every sunrise with you — the quiet moments, the laughter, the ordinary miracles. And I want every midnight — the whispered truths, the slow breaths, the kind of love that feels like time pausing just for us.
I want a life with you that isn’t built out of survival, but out of choice. Out of devotion. Out of the sacred vow that love like ours does not come twice.
Tamera, you are not just the woman I love. You are the woman my soul chose long before either of us took our first breath. You are the one whose presence feels right in my arms, whose future feels right beside mine.
And here is my truth:
I am yours. In every lifetime. In every world. In every version of who I become.
You are my heart. My promise. My forever. And I will love you — completely, endlessly, fiercely — for all the days I am given.
Forever and always,
Your Dean
