A Million Tiny Little Things

My Darling…
When you are away for even a day, there is no explaining how my heart leaps with happiness upon seeing you again. My world is incomplete without you in it. Plain and simple, I love you without reservation and need you beyond any doubt.

Start of Our First New Year Together

My Darling…
Last night will be remembered as magical; you in a long flowing dress; me in black and white. At the ball we partied, danced, ate, smoked cigars on the terrace and fell deeper in love; a sweet start for our first new year together.

With All I Am Capable

My Darling…
I get afraid at times. I fret that I might love you too much and you might not love me enough. Regardless, I am facing my fears. They are about my past and not about you. With all the love I am capable my heart is open to you.

Delightful Distress

My Love…
Being apart is luscious agony, delectable torment and delightful distress all rolled together. I am richly blessed to have someone to miss who I care about the way I do you and to be loved just as much in return.

Where I Learned

Sweetheart…
For so long I was not wise enough, nor open enough to have let you in. Even two years ago I would not have opened my heart to you. All that came before you was simply the classroom where I learned how to love you.

No One Else But You

My Love…
You could easily move back home to the comfort of family, friends and familiar surroundings, but I’m glad you want to stay here.  I promise to make you glad you stayed.

Planning Next Year

My Darling…
Long has it been since I felt happy on Halloween, much less dressed up and laughed with the trick or treaters. My life has changed remarkably for the better since chance brought us together. I am already planning next year.

Truly, Completely and Absolutely

Sweetheart…
It’s been two years now and not once has anyone else interested me. That’s never happened before. Till you no one ever held my attention for more than a  few weeks. I am truly, completely and absolutely in love for the first time.

Happily Already Know

My Darling…
What happens if I let go and fall in love with you like I think you are with me? Will I be the one to say “I love you” first or will it be you? I happily already know the answers.

I Can Do That

My Darling,
Like a thief, silent in the night, you broke me open and stole my heart. My sentence is to love you kindly, tenderly and passionately with understanding and honesty. I can do that.

From the song “Love You Like Crazy” by Mysteryman
m7UzsH5D27Vlim1CdeSjykQIt’s no small thing that I feel,
It’s true and deep and real.
So easy it was for you to steal
My heart; This is the real deal.
I love you like crazy,
I’m so high on you.
I love you like crazy,
I’m mad about you.
I love you like crazy,
I’m alive with you.
