My ghivashel,

All the time that I have spend apart I didn't know what I was missing out on.

I grew up dreaming of marrying a princess out of sheer principal. Maybe even an arranged marriage. You know, because I've told you, what stopped that from happening...

During that time I lost a lot of people that I held dear. People that I'll never get back.

So forgive me if I hold onto you with all my might. I never thought that I could care about someone as much as I care for you. And it scares me knowing that I can't protect you from everything in this world.

I'll try my hardest to keep you safe. Never will I leave you unprotected. You are mine to protect.

Saying that I love you would be a lie.

I adore you. That is how deep my love for you runs. I adore the words that leave your lips, I adore the way your eyebrows knit together when you are in a stubborn mood.

When I come home late at night after a long meeting I just can't wait to open the door to our room. Because when I do I know that I will find you somewhere sleeping, anywhere but on our bed.

You have no idea how my heart jumps whenever my eyes land on you. You are everything to me.

You have my heart, don't ever let it go.

My heart for ever,

Thorin
