Love Letter 2

I love you. I have from the day I met you. You are stunningly beautiful. You must get tired of hearing it, (and yet you let me say it and smile when I do). But it’s not that; there are plenty of nice shapes around. My heart doesn’t open to all of them. No, it is that you open your heart to me and you let me touch yours. What a gift. When I’m with you, even on the phone, I don’t feel alone. If people knew how to do that the way you do, the world would be a more whole and peaceful place. You have this ability to let people be who they are. Somehow you find what’s beautiful in them and choose to look at that. At least you do that with me. Then there is your honest approach to life. You want to do it right. Even when you’re in pain, you’re willing to feel it and not run from it. You even look to understand your part in it all. Not everyone has that courage. Then there is the balance. Somehow you know when it’s time to forget about all that meaning stuff and dance, or sing, or play with Buster, or sit and watch others perform. You light me up. I was worried for a time when you had not found someone to focus that loving life upon and so it fills me with joy now to think of you with a partner, appreciated and loved in return. If you ever wonder if you’re worth loving let me know, I’ll write another letter. I’m getting better at it.

Love you,

Sam
