"The Love Letter"
To my dearest,
I hope that this letter finds you well. I know that the manner of its delivery leaves much to fate. For it is not without a great deal of thought that I have chosen to express my feelings in this way. The uncertain delivery of this letter has lead me to think of every possibility, from as little as a day, to as long as eternity. Seemingly, somehow just out of reach, yet the whole time right there in plain sight. This is not lost on me, as I feel this as an appropriate expression for the feelings that I have felt for you from the moment that we met.
There were so many time when it seemed like you and I shared a special connection. This connection was not constrained by the encumbrances of vanity or pride. It was just an existence that was natural and beautiful. In those brief and fleeting moments, I wished that time would stand still and the rest of the world would disappear. For I needed nothing else other than that which you had given to me without any effort or knowledge.
You are the most amazing person I have ever and most likely will ever meet. Your compassion for all of those who are fortunate enough to have had you share a part of their life, if even for only the briefest moments, is boundless. No matter the despair that I may face in the future, the thought of your infectious smile and laughter will always provide me a ray of light. Most of all, the beauty that I see every day inside your glowing personality will forever serve to me as a reminder of the purest embodiment of grace and joy.
To quote one our favorite movies (with a few minor improvements), “A man’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets, but now you know there was a girl named Brit and that she saved me, in every way that a person can be saved.” For without the twists of fate that brought you into my life, I would have never known that my life was incomplete. Only now can I say that, from the bottom of my heart and with all of my soul, I Love You.
Whether or not it is that you see me tomorrow or can’t remember the last time we spoke, I hope that you now know you will always be a part of my heart and I will be eternally grateful to have had you as a part of my life. Hopefully, not another day shall pass where I could not call you my dearest and most sincere friend. For the tides of fate will surely evoke their ebb and flow, leaving the future an uncertainty. But among such uncertainty there is one thing that will always remain, that is the love for you that will always be in my heart. If there is ever a time in your life that the dawn of a new day seems to be without the majesty and brilliance of the sun’s rise, take comfort in this letter. It would be the greatest tragedy if you ever felt that your life was a life without, as you have provided me so much and as for all of the wonderful memories you have given to me, I will never let go!
With all of my love,
JTF
