First of all, I would like to apologize.

Every single day, I leave your loving arms to face the cruel world. You beg me not to go, you keep me wrapped in warmth and comfort and ask me to stay. But, I fight with you and I always end up leaving. I'm sure it breaks your heart, and I can assure you that I hate to leave you every day, but it's one thing I must do. I truly do love you, but I simply can not spend every waking moment in you.

Just every sleeping moment in you.

You're my bed. A simple, beautiful, warm, welcoming bed. The only constant in my life, the only thing I can fully rely on, the only thing that will never leave me. I know that every day I leave you, you will welcome me with loving arms and tuck me into sleep when I return. Our relationship is an unbreakable bond that I hold near and dear to my heart.

I constantly think about you. When I'm having a rough day, when I'm sick, when I'm drunk, when I'm tired, when I'm hungry, when I'm stressed, and when I'm the loneliest in the world, it's you I long for. It's you I think about. It's you I want to escape to.

It's you.

And honestly, I have to thank you.

Thank you for taking me in every night, especially after we argued that morning.

Thank you for holding me all night when I cry all night from a broken heart.

Thank you for being my fortress when I am sick, giving me a place to hide out and escape the world.

Thank you for not getting mad when I get crumbs in your clean sheets.

Thank you for being my dwelling when I'm tipsy and spinning.

Thank you for welcoming my friends when they stay the night and opening up our relationship to include others.

Last but not least, we must address where I go when I'm away for a few days. I'm sure you worry. Will I ever come back? I can promise you: I will always come back to you. Don't ask me if I've been with any other beds, because I'll have to be honest with you and tell you yes. But no other bed will ever compare to you.

You're mine. I am yours.

I love you, bed.
