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...

Yours Truly
