My Only Valentine...

This is to you, the one that can never be anything but what you are. My everything. It has taken us countless millenia to learn this love. It will take us countless more. You bring to me all of those things, all of those good things that hide in the shadows of our reality. And at the same time, you bring me close to the demons that mock us in the open. We ask how is it possible to know a love so clean and pure. And furthermore, how is it that two people in this kind of love can possibly be separate.

How is it that this can happen while the angels sit and watch? Watch us feeling for an invisible hand who's only identity is pictures and typed words. Watch us sit where we sit and go where we go always thinking of the other in some fashion or another, knowing that we long for the embrace of each other. Longing for that touch just as the starving leaf in the dessert longs for that one drop of water. Wishing constantly that somehow, someway, at sometime this thirst will be fulfilled. We sit...

we sit...

we sit some more.

And as I sit I realize...

I realize that this, whatever 'this' is should have never happened. Up until this point in my life, nothing like this has ever happened. Something this profound. Something this...perfect.

A side of me tells me that what I think is happening isn't happening. Then the other side whispers, "but I can make it happen!" I'm here to tell you that I'm here to make it happen. I want to be with you one day holding hands while walking...eating ice cream cones on the beach...cooking dinner every day and taking the kids to the park every week. If I can but live side by side with you every day of my life, I know we will have the lives we both dream about. Who else better to build a life with but the one who understands you. The one that will be there no matter what happens because we both know we are learning and growing together. Your battles are my battles. Your hunger is my hunger. Your happiness is my happiness & your love is my love.

On this day of love, I revel in my dedication to you. From the first day I experienced your energy, I knew I wanted to spend my last day in your arms. You are my true love. You are my only Valentine. We have a long road...this is only the beginning. We are off to a good start with this love and we will finish strong...I promise
