I Love You. (Last Night Was Unforgettable!)

I sit here, lost in the memory of you. What is today? I don't know. What is it I'm supposed to be doing now? I can't remember. It couldn't have been very important. Thoughts of last night still fill my mind and heart. Nothing else seems worth my time and effort. Where am I? Well, not here in this confined space, not really. I'm still lost in everything I felt when we were together. That was when you and I became "us" and I could no longer tell where you left off and I began. I love you, Lisa, and my love is lasting and true. I'm not sure when it began but I know it will never end. Surely, life can offer no higher fulfillment than what we experienced last night.

There can be no other woman in my life now but you. I've been involved in other relationships in the past, but they certainly can't compare to what I have found with you or to what I'm feeling now. Perhaps the others were just "dry runs," practice for the real thing, for a reality that I couldn't even imagine until I had experienced it for myself. Last night, I couldn't help but surrender to the feelings that had captured my soul and yet promised me freedom and joy. Today, the words of an old John Denver song come to mind, and it is only now that I understand what the "sweet surrender" he sang about really means.

You must know I can't stand being away from you much longer. I hope you feel the same way. Lisa, tell me when can I see you again!

I love you.

I hope you know how much our relationship has come to mean to me. Getting to know you over these last few months has changed my life. I'm happier than I have ever been, and I owe that joy to you. Before I met you, there was an emptiness in my heart that at times seemed to consume me, that threatened to break me--but now my life is full of meaning and purpose. I can see my future more clearly now--you are the light in the dark that guides my steps to where I want to be. When the entire world was once overcast by subtle shades of gray, when I seemed caught in a perpetual winter, you brought vibrant color to my life, and in my heart I felt the renewal, the warmth and sunlight of spring again.

I adore your kind smile and your gentle eyes. You have so much good in you--you treat me so well. I love your quiet strength, and your desire to do right. You have such a love for others, and your example makes me want to be the best that I can be. You can always make me laugh, even when I don't always want to. When I look into your eyes--those gorgeous azure eyes--I see a reflection of my own soul. And in your arms, I know there is no place on earth that I would rather be.

In quiet moments, I wonder what I ever did to be blessed to have you in my life. You remind me of what is truly important in this life, and I'll always be grateful to Fate for bringing us together. I can't remember what my life was about before you became a part of it. You're always on my mind--in my thoughts, and in my dreams.

I love you so much and I hope you know that I will always be here for you. I am yours now and forever, body and soul. Like the ebb and flow of the ocean waves, my love for you goes on forever and forever; like the great redwoods that reach toward the sky, my love for you grows and grows--higher, stronger, deeper. I can't imagine my life without you anymore. I've never loved anyone as I have loved you--I know now I never will. You're everything to me.

Is the world still spinning? Since last night when you and I ceased to be individuals but became "us," I have felt that I was residing on a world where time did not exist. Is it night or day? I don't know anymore. I no longer need food; sleep is impossible. I have no interest in world events or market prices. All that matters is you. If the sun rises, it rises because of you. If the moon courses across the sky and bathes the world in yellow light, it does so because you exist.

Is this the love they write about in romance novels? What else could it be? What else could compare to this feeling? Surely life would have no meaning for me without you. And other girls? A vague memory. They were only schoolboy romances, puppy love, meaningless flirtations. I can honestly say that nothing I thought I felt could ever compare with the profound love I feel for you now. I am finally alive! What does the poet say?

There were bells on the hills

But I never heard them ringing.

No, I never heard them at all,

Till there was you.

I must see you again. This afternoon is not soon enough. Tonight is too late. Now I know there could be no other woman in my life but you. Please tell me when I can see you.

I love you.

You have been constantly on my mind since our last date. I’m more convinced than ever of my feelings for you. I love you, Jane. I only want you in my life, and no longer want to see anyone else. 

I’ve never felt like I do now. I can’t compare the depth of my emotions to anything I’ve ever experienced before. I feel like I’m finally breathing fresh air! 

I can’t wait to see you again! The weekend seems so far away!
