I am copying and pasting what I wrote months ago for you :-) with a few additions
Before I met you, you know I had a few bad experiences with "relationships" but I knew what I wanted. I would dream constantly of a man who could love me the way I knew I could love him, who understood me and shared my ideas on love and life. A man who I could love forever and who would always be there for me. I knew exactly what I was looking for but was beginning to doubt it existed. The more I get to know you, the more I believe you are the one I have been waiting for. Now I know that you're exactly what I was waiting on! You are so incredibly sweet, patient, well, two out of the three anyway!! LOL and understanding about everything that makes me difficult to love and somehow you get past it all and love me anyway.
When I am in your arms, all is right with the world. All my problems seem to vanish and I am truly completely happy for the first time I can remember. Your fingers running through my hair, your arms around me, your lips touching mine, your body next to me ... nothing in the world can compare to the happiness I feel when I'm with you.
There is something about you that affects me in amazing ways. I am truly comfortable with you, I trust you implicitly and I feel safe with you. When I met you, something happened inside my heart. I don't know what it is, but I love it. I feel things that I never felt, I am happier than I ever believed I could be. My entire outlook on life is brighter. I feel better about me, which is a very unusual thing. When you say nice things about me, I think you mean them.
I've been through a lot and learned to expect the worst and try not to hope for too much. I never believed I would actually meet someone like you, I was willing to settle for ... well, a lot less than I really wanted. Now that I have met you, I am so glad that I didn't settle. I am actually thankful for every bad experience I have had with guys simply because I think they let me appreciate you more. I know exactly what I have found in you and I don't take anything about you for granted and I hope I never do. I hope you know that I don't love you because of who you aren't. There is some indescribable something about you that affects me in a very strong way.
I cannot wait until April 3, 2004 when we begin our first forever together as husband and wife. Thank you for coming in to my life, Chris! I love you!!
