My love,

How do I write the longings of my heart; the knowledge that courses through my very soul, my body, my heart/mind of my love for you?

Never has anyone captured my heart, my imagination, my passion the way you have. Never have I felt so close to another human being on so many levels as I do with you.

Never have I been as content, at ease in a relationship, as I am with ours.

I think perhaps that is the key word in the last sentence. This is OUR relationship. We share everything. We talk about everything together. The good, the bad, the mediocre – we don’t shy away, we don’t hide from each other. The time for the ‘newness’ of all of this is long past and we are still madly in love.

I marvel at this love. Saying/writing this seems so ‘trite’ so cliché, so ‘it’s all been said before’ and perhaps it has – but truly you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I’ve been on this planet for a while now…

Perhaps it’s just in the way that you and I are able to be ourselves around each other – we don’t pretend, we don’t put on a façade – it’s all so very real, so honest – as if you are the very breath within my body, so close to me, that you are almost of an involuntary nature. That’s not to say that I don’t want to be cognizant or that I am becoming complacent – it is a statement about how comfortable this has become and how surprising it is that I’ve been able to just let go with you – let my guard down. Be myself.

We have had ups and downs and things that (at least to me) are important in the sense of ‘how will we handle our future’? We have been through things that would have destroyed other romances but not ours.

You are still the one that I want to spend most of my time with, you are still a ‘turn-on’ for me, you still make me blush, you still challenge me & make me think, you are in every way I can sense and feel, my own personal ‘Ooh La La’.

I know deep down this is how it’s suppose to feel with love; this is how a healthy relationship works, in the same way that I know with everything that I am – that I want to spend the rest of my life with you as my love(r), my partner, my husband.

Always & forever yours,

Colleen
