A Letter To You...


You,

I’ve been searching for you for so long now. It's seems like forever. I’ve seen you in my dreams but have yet to cross paths with you in this journey through life that I’m on. This journey has been such an amazing experience for me. All the things I’ve learned and all of the things I’ve seen have helped me grow into the man I’ve become and while I love the man I’ve become I’m certainly not without my flaws. I’m still doing my best to improve and become the best possible version of me that I can be.

A part of that comes with finally finding you. There’s a certain type of happiness… a certain type of feeling that comes with having you there to finish off this journey with me… having you there to share all of life’s peaks and valleys. Success is great but with you there to share it with me it can be amazing. Failure is hard and sometimes painful but when I fall and you’re there with me it’s so much easier to get up again. Who sees my smile? Who makes me laugh? Who wipes away my tears?

We love each other deeply. We share a passion for each other in so many ways that we believe it can only be shared by two people as in tune and connected as we are. Maybe even only by us. I spend each day trying to find new ways to make you smile and show you just how beautiful I think you are.

There’s a shiver that consumes my entire body as I lightly run my finger tips over every inch of you. I know every curve and every imperfection of your perfect body. Every freckle… every scar… every beautiful inch.
Nothing else matters. If someone walks up and offers me a million dollars I ask if I can take payment in a millions kisses from you. Or a million nights on the couch with your head nestled on my shoulder.

There’s a song that comes to mind as I sit here writing this to you… it’s called “Without You”.

“Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves.
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash.
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.
The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.”


“Without you, the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.
Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walk, the lungs breathe.
The mind churns, the heart yearns, the tears dry.

Without you. Life goes on, but I’m gone.
Cause I die, without you.”


I couldn’t have said it better myself. Without you my heart still beats… my lungs still breathe. The world doesn’t stop being beautiful for me… but it’s just not the same without you.

I imagine things like this… Sitting out back BBQin with a beer in hand with the smell of freshly grilled food… standing in the kitchen preparing dinner for the night… sitting on the couch watching a movie… laying in bed on a rainy Sunday morning… a long walk down a sandy beach on a warm sunny day with the waves rolling up over my feet… sitting out under the stars and just enjoying how beautiful and quiet it is and seeing all of the endless possibilities.

And then I imagine those things with you… and each one of them is just so much better with you next to me sharing them. They become perfect.

The things that I love in life are not impossible or missing… someone to share them with is… and that someone is You!!

Love,

Me
