I love…
…how we lingered outside the airport hugging and kissing this morning before you went inside to catch your flight.  How wonderful it is to share a love with you that is so profoundly deep.

Ask my eyes to
Stop looking at you…
Ask my brain to
Stop thinking about you…
Ask my imagination to
Stop dreaming about you…
Ask my heart to
Stop beating…
Ask me everything.
But you can’t ever
Stop me from loving you…

I love…
…your long thin legs and how you intertwine them with mine when we are making out on the couch.
 
From “The Way You Make Me Feel” by Amanda Standridge
You make me
Feel special.
You make me
Feel new.
You make me
Feel loved,
With everything
You do.

Since June 30, 2011 I have mourned openly here for 123 days over a love lost that is has been so hard to let go of.  It has been over 5 years since she and I went our separate ways.  It is time for me to let go and move on.  Some of my hesitance has been due to guilt and blame I place on myself, especially knowing in majority I was the reason we are no longer together.  But I am at peace with all that now.    Writing here well over a hundred days in a row ended up being the tonic that healed me.  It is time for the past to be past.  October 31, 2011 seems like a very good date for that to be true.

I have met someone I have been seeing for a while.  I am a hapless romantic with new hopes and dreams.  Tomorrow I begin here to write about possibilities and “might-happen’s” .  My heart is finally open again

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I remember…
… speaking in front of a large group and glancing at you in the audience to see the admiring way you were looking at me. I would give most anything to be seen in your eyes like that again.

Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning, April 29, 1846
if dreaming of me
should be good for making you love me,
let me be dreamt of…
go on to dream of me:
and love me, my beloved…
because the love returns to you,
all of it …
waves to the sea….

I remember…
… how consistently you reminded me to wear my seatbelt until wearing it became my habit.  Later that habit saved my life in a bad car accident.

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only
for what you have made of yourself,
but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

I remember…
… you teaching me how to play pool.  I got really got at it.  Thank you. 

From the song “Thank You For Loving Me” by Bon Jovi
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
