2/5/09 - Love Letter

He knew her for four years, they went out for 2 of them, he was in love for 5.
He knew from the moment he first saw her that he wanted to spend the
rest of his life with her, it was just a matter of showing her what he
already knew.

The love grew, between the both of them as he always knew it would. They
went through thick and thin, through tough times and easy moments, and
in the end they always had each other. He proposed on a cool sunny day
in December and she said yes, they were married in April.

Six years passed, 10 in total from the first time they'd been together,
over the years they had numerous happy, sad, angry, loved, hated, and
fearsome moments, but they were happy. At night he barely slept, he
would wake up with words in his head, words he was sure were due to the
fact he'd never been able to tell her exactly how he felt. He had
decided one day a long time ago to write her a letter, to express his
feelings once and for all, it sat in his desk unfinished.

Over the years he would bring it out again, one day here, another there,
for 10 years, but the dreams never stopped. One morning he woke up, went
to his desk, took out the envelope holding his heart and began to write,
last night's dream had been so vivid he was sure what to write, he wrote
and wrote until he could no longer remember the dream. He then neatly
folded the letter and placed it back into it's envelope. Went about his
day and that night he went to sleep as usual.

He woke up the next morning, no dreams from the night before, the first
time in 10 years, he got up, went to his desk took out the envelope
containing his heart, and for the first time in a long time read the
entire thing, when he was done, tears filled his eyes and a smile formed
on his face. He got dressed went to each and everyone of his friends
house to show them and each and every time he was met with the same
response, tears and a smile. He ended at his mothers house, entered with
a look of amusement on his face and when asked what he was up to thrust
the envelop into her hands with the explanation that he couldn't
actually explain it. After reading it, she wiped the tears from her face
and looked up at him, giving to him the words he had been looking for
all along, he had written the greatest love letter of all time.

He raced home to show the one true love of his life the thing he'd kept
a secret for so long, to tell her how he'd watched each and everyone of
his friends and finally his mother burst into tears at his declaration
of love for her.he burst through the door and rushed all through his
house looking for her, instead he was met with a letter of his own, on
the counter top he placed his letter, and picked up hers, within it was
a secret hidden for 10 years, he sat and read it, and when he was done
tears again filled his eyes, it seems he had written the second best
love letter of all time.
