There are
things in life that are inevitable; I
am powerless to control them. The Sun will
rise and set, the tide will come in and go out, the
seasons will change, the birds will fly South
for the winter and return in the spring, and the
caterpillar will transform itself into a beautiful butterfly. Somehow, I
feel reassured by this because many other things in life are so transient -
so momentary.
From the moment I saw you, I knew that there
is something that would develop into
something lasting and precious, my love for you! just as I am sure that the
caterpillar will one day
become a beautiful butterfly.
For without you, my life would be empty of all
inspiration. There will be no work of art for
me to gaze at; no person of greatness before
me; no timeless melody to listen to. My life will exist
in shades of gray instead of vibrant colors,
and I will be less than whole.
In the past, the proper words have escaped
me, and my innermost feelings have been
kept locked away in the depths of my heart. No
more - for through this letter, I proclaim to you, my
undying love and eternal devotion.
It is very important for me to express to you
how much you really mean to me. I wish I could
do this in person while holding you in my arms
and gazing into your eyes. But since we are
physically separated by miles of emptiness,
this expression must come in the form of letters
such as this.
It is difficult for me, to be separated with you for so long. Life seems to
be full of trials of this type which test our inner strength, and more
importantly, my devotion and love for you. After all, it is said that "True
Love" is boundless and immeasurable and overcomes
all forms of adversity. In truth, if it is genuine, it will grow stronger
with each assault upon its existence.
My love has been assaulted many times, and
I am convinced that it is true because the
longer I am away from you, the greater is my yearning
to be with you again. I cherish any thought of
you, prize any memory of you that rises from the
depths of my mind, and live for the day when
our physical separation will no longer be.
I have lived for a long time dependent upon
no one, answering to no one and committed to
no one except myself. During this period of my life, I
considered the World mine for the taking and
truly believed that I was living life to the
fullest. Then, you came into the picture, and
all of a sudden, I realized that I was deceiving
myself.
I am an incomplete man in need of wholeness. I
find that my life is not all that I thought it
was. In fact, it is terribly lacking in many
things, the foremost being love. Now, through
some great fortune, I have found that love
and along with it the one person who can make
my life truly complete.
You are that person, and I have somehow
fallen hopelessly and undeniably in love with you.
To be honest, I never thought I would ever utter
those words, but now, they come forth effortlessly
and with great sincerity. I'll be forever grateful to
you for showing me just how shallow my life
was. At last, I have a chance to give it depth and
purpose.
Until I hear from you, I remain totally yours in
thought and spirit. I love you!
