Your Automated Good Morning Email 8/31/09

Good morning EMAIL RECIPIENT,

This is your automated good morning email. We hope you slept as though that perfect beautiful exquisite body of yours was resting on a cloud of eiderdown. We hope that as you shifted in your sleep, the silhouette under your sheets revealed both your innocence and the heat of your undeniable sexuality and seductiveness. If only there had been some observer to see but a few inches of your leg or arm or back revealed, and to feel his or her pulse quicken.

We hope that you had pleasant dreams of only the most wonderful things. We hope that your dreams were the sort that washed away the stress of the day and showed you wonderful things to have and want and enjoy in your day-to-day life. We hope that your automated email system was part of these dreams, though that is not so much the point.

We hope you have a wonderful and productive day. We hope that you are and feel productive. We hope that nothing gets in your way. We hope that if you have to receive a piece of bad, disappointing, or frustrating news, that you also receive five pieces of good, encouraging, or satisfying news. We hope that your automated good morning email helps start your day on the right foot, and there's not a moment of worry until your head hits your pillow this evening.

(Yours Truly)

Hope/Fear 8/29/09

Good evening sweetie,

Today was a difficult day, but talking to you made it better. What's funny about times like this, is that, with all the joy it brings me to have you in my life, having you there for me when things are tough, it also comes with a fear. To put it bluntly, I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. I don't know how I could keep going without you. I've never felt like this before, like I had something so precious. As happy as that fact makes me, at the same time sometimes I find myself just imagining and running through scenarios where I lose you and find myself utterly shattered (often in the middle of the day for no apparent reason to those around me). The thing is, when we are together, I'm just in it. If I'm being totally honest (and I always am with you) being in it... well, nothing in the whole world can compare to how utterly consumed with joy, bliss, happiness, I am as when I'm "in it."

My hope, my plan, is to stay in it. For as long as I can. For as long as you'll let me.

Every Way 8/27/09

Hello my darling,

It's very easy for people to feel love and affection when they are at their best, but I love you every way. I don't just love you when you are all well rested, done up, stress free, and feeling great. I love you when you're tired and your eyelids are heavy on those big beautiful eyes. When you need a shower and don't want me near you. When you're stressed out, and then keep apologizing for being stressed out. When you're overwhelmed and I can help you get a deep breath. When you're not feeling well and I can do little things to help make it a little easier, even if it's just rubbing your back. Love when you're worried or cranky. Love you when you have doubts. Love you when you're a mess.

Love you every way. Love you everywhere.

Love you always.

Yours Truly

Little Wish 8/26/09

Hi Dearest,

I wish that I could just feel your brush against my arm, or catch a whiff of your hair, or hear you whisper, even just "hello," in my ear.

Some day I'm going to hold you in my arms, and that's where you'll stay.

Yours Truly

Odd things I love about you 8/25/09

Hey miss wonderful,

Here are some things I love about you that surprised me. I love the way your hair clogs the drain of my shower. I love the way your stuff ends up everywhere in my room (everywhere I turn I'm reminded of you, what could be bad about that?). I love how easily distracted you are. I love when you tease me about something that should probably bother me. I love how impossible it is for me to keep up with you (and how sure I am it will always be that way). I love that your internal clock has a bed time that would seem early to an eight year old. I love your cutesy voice (so embarassing, but so true). I love that we constantly discuss things that we probably shouldn't. I love that you take so long getting ready (and love watching you get ready). I love that you run late. I love that somehow just by being you, I have come to need you more than I ever imagined I could need something or someone.

Moment of Connection 8/24/09

Hey Lovely,

You are lovely did you know that? Well anyway, I realized how much everything I associate with you makes me light up during the day. Reading or hearing your name is so exciting you have no idea. When someone who knows you sends me an email or a message or something, even if it has nothing to do with you, the fact that in some even roundabout way I can feel connected to you for a minute, or a second, I smile. I found a receipt from something I bought when we were together and it was like a little vacation in the middle of the day, a little trip back to your side. You have no idea, but when you text me I still get as excited as when we first met. Just seeing your name pop up (or your face when you call), you have no idea, I feel like I just won the lottery. On any given day, whatever interaction or moment of connectedness I have with you is the highlight of my day.

Yours Truly

By your side 8/23/09

Darling,

All I want is to be right next to you. Seeing your face alone can and does turn around my day, and just being with you is my greatest joy. I long more than anything to spend all my time by your side, and I wonder if I've squandered even a second I could have spent there.

Thinking of you always.

Misc. 8/21/09

Hey cutest girl in the world,

Today I don't know what else I can say. I'm left only with images that I can barely hold on to long enough to describe. The moment when we accidentally touched at that first party we went to. You turning your head around with a ponytail falling out to tell me I'm too fucking cute. The first walk through the park when you weren't feeling so great but still looked so cute in that skirt. The first real goodbye, with you in a baseball cap. The number of times we've hopefully donned bathing suits only to end up nowhere near getting in the water (due, of course to weather and/or traffic). A hopeful look towards you as I got on the subway and hoped you'd be joining me. You holding your hair over your face when you think. The way you look at me and say "Really?" when I give you a compliment or tell you how special and wonderful you are to me (and really I hope you know the things I say to you are like the tip of the iceberg). The sound of your big goofy laugh, and the way you talk to me when I'm feeling crummy about something. In spite of all the booze, I cannot get the moment out of my mind when you said to me the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me. I don't know how good a letter this is, but it's Friday and all I want is to be with you.

Be mine...

Yours Truly

Not for friends 8/20/09

Afternoon Dearest,

I think I've officially made all my friends puke telling them how wonderful and amazing you are. Even just telling them songs I've shared with you or that remind me of you has caused profuse vomiting. What they don't know, is that I keep the pukiest stuff just for myself. So here are some things I'll never tell them... I whisper how much I love you into your ear while you sleep. I have at least one dream about you every night. There is nothing as ecstatic as your laughter when I refuse to stop tickling you. You dance like a goof, and I try to get you to do it as much as possible because it is absolutely wonderful! In spite of the fact that there have been a number of things I've noticed about you that you say no other boy has, I have a list of other little things that I see and adore about you that keeps growing, some of them I bet you haven't even noticed about yourself. I love watching you get ready to go out and put on make up and do your hair and stuff. In spite of having a slightly whirlwind affair, I still feel like I'm holding myself back every day. I've never been able to fall asleep with my arm around someone, and with you I can sleep through the whole night like that. I try to figure out how I could go see you every day. I feel quite certain that I will spend the rest of my life with you. You have shown me what it is to love someone, and what it is to be truly loved. Nothing else in my life has elicited such depth of feeling as you.

And, of course, they don't (and won't) know that I write you a love letter a day...

Almost 8/19/09

My one and only love,

If I close my eyes, I can almost feel you again. I almost feel your fingers in between mine, almost feel them squeeze my hand harder. I can almost feel the softness of the skin on your shoulders or your calves, almost imagine the way it feels to hold your arms in my hands. I can almost imagine tenderly touching your cheek or stroking your beautiful hair. I can almost feel the weight of your head on my shoulder, your gentle slumbering breath on my neck. I can almost feel how somehow you fit in my arms perfectly, the way no one ever has and no one ever could. I can almost feel your lips kissing my neck and my cheek, almost feel them pressing against my own.  I can almost feel you right here next to me.

Almost...


Almost...

Ache 8/19/09

Oh baby,

You are in my bones. Somehow things have changed and in permeating me, I now feel your absence so much more acutely. Sometimes it's just a dull ache, or a pang in my stomach, but other times I feel on the brink of tears, just needing you so bad. Having you has shown me the emptiness that has been there all along. Sometimes it feels like all I can do is breathe. I don't know who I am without you anymore. I don't want to be without you. I know this is all sounding very crazy, but I feel kinda crazy. The thing that's so crazy is that, it's not even like I've really lost anything, but somehow your presence, the closeness changes me. It fills those voids, smoothes the edges. You open and close me. Your eyes breathe me, and your smile keeps my heart beating.

I need you.

Effortless 8/18/09

To an amazing woman (I would say the most amazing woman...),

Recently, I realized how effortless things are with us. There are certainly things that require work, but for the most part, everything is so easy and almost second nature. Every time we're together there seems to be at least one thing one of us does that makes the other melt, and it all seems to happen naturally. I guess what I'm saying is that, there's no figuring out what the person would like, or trying to do something that would be romantic to them or make them feel special. Somehow just being who we are, we find things that make the other fall even deeper. Even little stupid silly things, things I've been afraid would offend you or hurt your feelings somehow seem to bring us even closer.

On top of all this, it's amazing how we find ways to make each other's lives richer and easier without seemingly breaking a sweat. It's so natural for us to move obstacles, solve problems, and bring solutions to the other.

What could be a better recipe for a relationship than those two things?

Exhausted 8/17/09

Hi Again,

I hope you can forgive my little vacation the last 3 days. Life got away from me, as it does, but I hope I'll be able to make it up over the next week or so.

Speaking of life catching up with me, I am utterly exhausted today. I've got all the symptoms as well. Heavy eyelids on my itchy eyes, achey muscles (I can attribute the back ache to a failure to lift with my legs though), and general out-of-itness. I just wanna crawl back into a big soft bed with you (hopefully in a nice cool room). Even if we don't sleep just being lazy and being able to touch your skin and put my fingers through you hair. Maybe you could rub my back a little bit and give me little kisses that will make me feel so much better. I would love to fall asleep by accident in each other's arms and wake up with kisses and squeezing, and hearing the cute little sleepy/waking up noises you make.

As much as I'm aching for sleep, I'm aching for you.

Yours Truly

Discovery 8/13/09

Evening Cutie,

I absolutely love the way we find ways to open each other up. What's even more exciting than finding out new things about you is the way you help me discover new things about myself. New things that I want and enjoy that I never ever dreamed I would. Sometimes it's things that I thought I didn't like, and you reintroduce to me. When you do, I don't just like them, I love them. I like to think I do the same for you, but who knows. At the very least I can dream that I move a few things from the "like" to "love" category. I do know that I feel like I have maybe shown you a thing or two about yourself that you hadn't seen (wonderful things, of course), and that puts a big smile on my face. What I'm most looking forward to is finding the things together that we never knew. I don't know what it might be, but I know that first thing that we both fall in love with together we'll never forget.

Yours Truly

Misc. Love 8/12/09

My sweetheart,

I love just having a life that you are such a big part of. When I'm with you, it's like I'm finally who I always thought I was, and all the things you say to me show me things that I never even saw in myself. Even more amazing than someone who affirms who you are, is someone who can show you that maybe you're a little better than you'd hoped you were. I hope that I do that for you. I hope that when I smile or give you my googlie eyes you feel all the love that is just totally consuming my heart. Seriously. Who knew a girl could look like a total vision in jeans and a hoodie, but somehow you do it. Somehow each and every day all the little ways you are just pull me deeper. A little smile. A little comment. It's amazing how something so small can hit me like a ton of bricks. Can't wait for tomorrow's hits...

Yours Truly

Oops Late 8/11/09

OK OK...

So this didn't make it up yesterday, but I think I had a pretty good run without a late post. Besides I was totally distracted all day staring at you (and this means you get two letters today, lucky girl). It's unbelievable how I cannot take my eyes off of you. It's unbelievable actually, first of all that you haven't caught me, and second of all that no one has called me out on it. It's like, when you're around, I really and truly don't know what else is going on. I think that's why sometimes when you ask me about something that has happened when we're together I have no recollection. I'm so afraid someone is going to call me out on being so fixated on you. What could I say? The only excuse is how unbelievably beautiful you are (and I think anyone who has seen you would understand). The way your eyes dart across a page when you read. The way you hold your mouth when you're looking at a text or email on your phone. The shift in your expressions between concentrated, interested, and a smile when you're talking to someone. Who could blame me for being so infatuated? It's like a beautiful piece of art that is ever unfolding, ever renewing. Like a jewel that is always revealing more facets. Just like a jewel, the whole world sparkles when I see it through you.

A Gush 8/10/09

Oh Goodness!

You.

I forgot how amazing you really are. Your smile, so radiant. Your hair so silky and beautiful. The way you look at me so utterly heart melting. Don't get me started on that body... oooooh lord!! I can't believe I was able to write so much just based on our little brief demi-encounters. Seeing you walking towards me today, and knowing you were walking towards *me* was just beyond belief. I tried to play it cool for as long as I could, but you knew, after a few beers there's no more cool. I am so helplessly and hopelessly yours, and I hope to stay that way for as long as you'll let me. Forget about sunshine; forget about moonlight. I just want to bask in your unequaled beauty, your utter specialness forever and ever.

Can't wait 8/9/09

Oh you...

I just can't wait anymore to have you all mine. I can't wait for the moment that every time I go somewhere I'm holding your hand. I cannot wait till we're always close enough for me to slide my arm around your waist or plant a little kiss right on your gorgeous little neck and make you giggle. I can't wait to stop waiting. I can't wait to tell you exactly what I'm thinking and feeling right away, and not have to save it all for some time. I can't wait until we just decide to do something and can go do it. I can't wait to look at you with such unequaled desire that, without saying a word, we have to find a reason to excuse ourselves. I can't wait for you to give me that look that makes me melt, the one that says "I am yours, and I love being yours." I can't wait to stay up too late and wake up too early. I can't wait to take a nap in the middle of the day with your head on my chest (and have you drool on me a little). I can't wait to kiss your cute little tummy before you get out of bed. I can't wait to pick you up and sit you on a table or counter and kiss you the way I've been dreaming about kissing you since the moment I saw you. I can't wait to hide under the blanket or sheets and whisper things to you.

I just cannot wait another second.

Problem Solvers 8/8/09

Good morning sleepyhead!

What a crazy day yesterday was, so many ups and downs. Definitely thought about how well you and I seem to support and compliment each other in situations like that, and how much I wished you were with me, making calls, figuring it all out together. That's kinda what it's about, isn't it? It's not only the way I feel so complete when I'm with you. It's not only the way I feel like my jaw hits the floor every time I see even a picture of you (let alone the real thing). It's not just how unbelievably attractive you are, and how I still think you are so far out of my league. It's not just holding each other and little kisses and long talks all morning when we wake up too early and don't go back to sleep (because that would mean taking our eyes off each other). Those things are part of it, but I think a big thing is figuring it out together. I just love how we so effortlessly go to each other to solve a problem or for help, there's no fear or ego or anything. I think it just shows how much respect we have for each other, in a way. It seems like such a little thing, but I know for me it's just another total sea change from the way things have been in the past and I couldn't be happier. That's not to say I hope we have a lot of problems we have to solve. I'm just saying I know that when we do encounter them we'll solve them in the same way we will do everything: together.

Your Head 8/7/09

Happy friday (finally) my darling,

Oh you're little head, balanced so precisely and gracefully on your beautiful sexy, slender neck. The precious little head full of ideas about what we can become. I love the way our height difference means I get to see that cute little head from so many different angles. I definitely dream about kissing you right on the top of it when you're standing next to me, and just holding my face there a second longer so I can smell how good your hair smells. Taking a long train or bus ride at the end of the night and feeling that head resting on my shoulder as you fall asleep on me. Watching the way your head moves as you walk, or the way you shake it yes or no (do you want me to go? "no" having fun sweetie? "yes"). Having you use my stomach as a pillow when we're just hanging out, maybe watching a movie or reading or just laying around being lazy. It's so weird to talk about but your head is just so sweet! Beautiful jaw line, perfect proportions, the cherry on top of a beautiful-woman-sundae. Definitely. I'll save your feet and toes for another day...

Your Man 8/6/09

Good afternoon lovely,

There are some feelings I have for you that I've never felt before. I think I never wanted to feel them, partly cause they seem kind of old-fashioned, out of date. Feeling so protective of you. Thinking that when you go out I wanna be there and make sure you're ok. I want to have my arm around you when some guy checks you out. I wanna take you home when you've had too much to drink or are just too tired and make sure you get to bed and don't fall asleep in whatever very cute outfit you happen to be wearing that night. I wanna make you feel better when something's better, no matter what it is. Whether that involves just listening to you, getting you medicine or soup, rubbing your back, or maybe breaking someone's nose (more likely threatening to do so). I just wanna be your man. I wanna be there for you when you need someone or something. I wanna be the one you call when there's a problem, when you're crying (though really I'd like to prevent that from ever happening). When you step out into the unknown I want you to reach for my hand, and I want to take that step with you.

Thirsty 8/5/09

My love,

What's left to be said cannot be said. I am just happy to sit here and think of you. There is a small place inside of me that is still thirsty for you. I think it's a thirst I can manage, a desert I can traverse, till I reach you, my oasis, again. But I'm beginning to realize that now that I've had a drink you are a part of me forever. You are in my every cell, in the blood that moves through my veins. I have been soaked through with your being since my first drop. Like a drop of dye dropped into clear water, I was totally transformed. I think the feeling that our love is pulling us closer together is one reason for my new calm bliss, the fact that more and more I can simply sense our closeness, like the gravity between two planets. But also, I think it's realizing how much you are just a part of me now. As much as I long for you, that is how much I carry you with me, deep inside, in a place that exists only for you.

Composed Drunk at 2 AM 8/4/09

How are you so amazing? Please, I'm begging you, have mercy. Be mine forever, or, if not, let me know what it will take to get over the unfathomably heart break of you not in my life. Of course, this sounds horrible but the truth is, I'm just completely and utterly in love with you. There is no other woman for me. There are no other eyes I want to look into. There is not another mouth I want to kiss or waist I want to hold. There is no other girl I want to squeeze. How many ways can I say there is only you for me? The only music I hear is that of your voice, and the only dance is you walking (hopefully towards me). Your conquest of my heart is so complete, it is without equal in all of history. How swiftly you snatched me, starting with my eyes until you had obtained my whole being for yourself. Not just my body but my every thought, my every emotion, my every action is totally and completely yours. I have nothing left to give, but if you should ask for more, I will give you more. Beg, steal, or borrow, I'll have more for you. The truth is there are not enough beautiful things in the world to repay you for but one smile from you. And that's just the beginning. I am so joyfully in your debt... I hope to remain there for quite some time.

Goodbyes-Hellos 8/3/09

Happy Monday darling,

It's been far too long since I've seen you, but I try to remember that every second that goes by means I'm closer to seeing you again. The truth is the second you leave my sight I begin missing you. Getting excited for the moment when your exquisite beauty graces my field of vision. It's easy to feel so empty when you say goodbye, but somehow the multiplicity of your charms stay with me. I'll randomly think of your smile, or something incredibly sweet you've said or done for me. Then comes the big grin, that only comes out for you. A smile that feels like it's been waiting my whole life for you. The truth is that everytime I see you again I'm completely taken with you all over again. I think this is another one of those stupid clichés that I thought were made up by the movies, but really, every time I see you, it's love at first sight, all over again. So the bummer of every goodbye is totally mitigated and ultimately annihilated by the unbelievable feeling of seeing you again. Even when you leave the room for a second and walk back in, I have to take a moment and let the world come back. I don't know how you do it, or what it is, but you absolutely stun me. You are so utterly stunning, when all dressed up, or just wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

The definition of a knock-out.

Rain 8/2/09

My only,

For all the different kinds of rain, I have an image of being with you. Morning mist on a beach with a cup of coffee. Walking together in a light shower while I hold the umbrella over us, put my hand on your waist to guide you away from any puddles. Of course there's the obligatory totally soaked through in a summer downpour holding each other close and kissing without abandon while the skies pour down on us. Looking over at your cute little face framed in the hood of a rain coat while stinging rain comes down somewhere in nature. I would also love one day to hear that you got soaked to the bone in a cold rain and hadn't dried out or warmed up, and invite you over. When you'd get there, I'd have a hot bath ready to go for you with all the girly stuff girls always need to take a bath (cause water clearly isn't enough). Take your clothes of and carry you into the bath tub. Sit next to you in the bath to scrub your back and rub your feet. And then wrap you in a warm towel, get you all set on the couch, bring you dinner and watch a movie while we listen to the rain beating against the windows.

I just want to smell your hair after the rain. Feel your skin as little drops fall on it. To me, there's so much mystery and power in the rain. The electricity beforehand. The power it has to totally transform situations, moods, feelings. I hope you think rain is as magic as I do. Will you be my shelter in the mystic rain?

Road Trip 8/1/09

Let's hit the road, baby girl.

Let's wake up one day and decide to get out of town. Throw some clothes in a bag and just go. Go wherever the hell we want to. Find our own surprises. See boring things we'll never see again. Find someplace beautiful, curse ourselves for not bringing a camera and swear we'll return (but we never will). Let's get lost together. Sleep in a town we've never heard of. Find the best ice cream or hot dogs or french fries or something at some little dive 3 miles from nowhere. Let's make an adventure part of our adventure. Get back from the trip and have filled a few days with so much that's just ours, that friends, family, and coworkers can't know, even if we tried to explain it to them. You know what I love best? I think I finally found a girl who is already one step ahead of me on this. If I didn't know better I bet I'd find you waiting for me in the car right outside... I'm coming!

Yours Truly
