Dear,

Scared

Sometimes I look myself in the mirror and wonder how I’ve strayed so far. When I’m losing myself, I feel like I’m losing you. Keeping the faith can always be difficult. I know you’re keeping yours. Did you know that, even now, you’re helping me keep mine too?

I’m going to be so embarrassed when you finally read these. I’m at my weakest here. It’s weird taking off the armor and exposing my heart.

Love,

Reindeer Section

If I gave you my heart, would you give yours to me? 
If I make proper start, would you take me seriously? 
If I wait for the right moment, would you say yes to me? 
If all my friends desert me, would you be there for me? 
Would you please be there for me?

Love Triangle

Someone once told me that the closer you get to God, the closer you will be to the love of your life. And it’s true - if we’re both pursuing God, then aren’t we also coming closer together?

Decisions

I swore to have, hold, love, and cherish you for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. Besides putting my faith in God who led us to each other, you are the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

Love,

It’s Summer but for some reason I was thinking about our first Christmas together.

I hope we’ll get to see the fire in each others’ eyes while we dance to slow jazz by the fire place. Maybe we’ll wear our favorite fuzzy sweaters and if I’m extra lucky, you’ll be wearing Vanilla scented perfume. (My hints are oh so subtle, but you already know that haha)

There’s a song lyric, “The only true gift is a kiss for Christmas.”

Hope all is well, wherever you are.

Love,

Bike tour

If we both have a couple months with nothing to do, let’s bike across the country, just you and me.

It would be the most amazing couple of months ever.

Hope you’re doing well,

3-Seat Tandem Bikes

Definitely getting one to ride around the neighborhood with the kids.

Love,

Our song

I’ll always play it for you.

Love,

Life & Death

When we’re both old and grey, I hope we both pass on together
holding each other’s hands, our last words to each other being “I love you. See you up there!”

I’d have a hard time living without you. But if one of us are in Heaven before the other, let’s agree to look after each other and our kids and grandkids.

Love,

Sunrise or sunset?

I’ve always been a bigger fan of sunsets:

1. I don’t have to wake up so early to see it.

2. It’s way more romantic/sexy… you know, since the night’s coming haha

3. It’s beautiful how it sets into the shimmering pacific like that. It makes me ponder on life.

But if you really like sunrises, I’ll still wake up that early and walk with you to our favorite spot to enjoy it with you (and a huge mug of coffee).

Love,

Dear,

I wonder where you are now. Are you resting, falling asleep to the sound of soft blue gentle rain? Are you spending time with your friends and family while the sun sets in a different time-zone?

Maybe we’ll meet through some mutual friends or through some activity. Maybe our careers will cross paths, maybe we’ll find each other in the same church.

Or maybe we’ve already met. Maybe we’re two people stranded on a boat, facing away from each other, unaware of each others’ company, God’s plan not quite ready for us to turn around.

Pardon the melodrama; I’m curious.

Love,
