Love is a Haven from the Monsters of Life

I love you. From the first second I saw you, I pretty much knew I was going to fall for you. I think I knew that when we talked before we ever met face to face. It was something I felt, a connection I had with your soul. I knew it was love because I'd never felt it before. At least not like this. This is the kind of love that is so overpowering and overwhelming that I just have to sit down sometimes to just think about it. It's the kind that makes me weak at the knees every time you look at me. My heart wants to beat itself right out of my chest every time I hear your voice. The thought of your arms around me just makes me melt into a lovesick lump. You've caught me staring at you because I just love to look at you. Whenever I think about you, I space out into a whole different world and don't come back to reality for a while because I'm going over all the things I love about you.

I love your eyes. They just swallow me up and take me in while electrifying the very air I breathe, lighting my soul on fire with just a glimpse. It's what I imagine eating a lightning bolt would taste like. Your smile. It's quirky and cute and always seems to be holding back a hilarious joke or impish secret. And when you're smiling at me, the twinkle that dances goes straight to my core. I just feel it in my bones. Your hands. They're big and strong and beautiful to just look at. I don't know if I ever thought anyone would have hands as nice as you. I feel so safe when they hold mine. Hell or highwater may come but I am safe with you. When they cup my face and stroke my cheek, I could die from happiness. But instead I just choose to kiss you.

Those are just a few of the physical things I love about you. Someday, I will list every single thing that I love about you. It may take years, but I will do it. Because I have an eternity left to be with you. Sometimes, I feel a bit dopey for thinking about you as much as I do; which leads me to hope that you're thinking about me like that too. I honestly don't think I could breathe without you. I can't breathe when I'm next to you either but I'd rather die of a lack of oxygen while in your arms than when I'm a forever away from you. I just get so overwhelmed and intoxicated by even being in the same room with you.

If I ever fall completely silent, don't be alarmed. I'm savoring the moment. I'm thinking about you. I'm pondering our forever. We have a beautiful story. So I'm sorry if I take a break from reality to just play and replay it in my head. Like our first kiss. I think about that so often. It really was a Kodak moment, one that Hollywood would die to have on film. Time stood totally and completely frozen, and every time I see it in my head it does the same.

We've made it through so much and I'm looking forward to making a forever with you. We've been to hell and back; soon it will be our time for heaven on earth--no interruptions, no fears, no insecurities. Just you and me. We'll take on the world, baby, because love is so much stronger than what they could ever throw at us and our love would top every chart. I'm record-breakingly in love with you. No girl has ever been as crazy for her man as I am for you. I just wanted you to know that.
