A Love Letter

Originally made this to grant a favor from a friend. That was a year ago I think. Now, I guess I am posting this for myself.

Dearest,

Love is a corny thing to talk about. It’s even cornier to write about it. But you know what; everything makes sense when one is in love. Some may say that we are just rationalizing things, yet only those who know the feeling can deeply understand. Also, a man cannot write a love letter if he is not so deeply in love enough to compel him to be humble as to swallow his pride. So here I am, letting all my defenses down and painting my sincerest feelings in words. Here I go.

I never thought that I’d be this happy before I have met you. I mean, all my life I feel this emptiness as if there is a hole in my heart that yearns to be filled with something I cannot fathom. I have tried to engage into things and kept myself busy hoping that somehow it would erase the horrible feeling of something lacking. Some turned out bad (as you have known). And then unexpectedly, you came along. Everything seems so right now. Well, almost.

Perhaps even the most romantic stories ever created have their trials and difficulties. I believe that God also as the editor of our love story, is brewing one of them. I may not be the perfect man for you in the eyes of others and I am not sure if I will ever be. Yet, one thing I am very certain about is that you are perfect for me. You are the missing piece of my whole being. You complete me. And I’d do anything to linger in your perfection. 

I don’t know if distance is a problem. Is it? Yes we are kilometers away from each other yet, I revel in the fact that you are on your way of fulfilling your dreams. The thought that you are steps closer to what you wanted to be gives me happiness. Just remember that I am here for you. Faithfully, I will be waiting for that golden day that we will be holding each other’s hands as we go on to a life-long journey together, going to places inseparably.

It is truly wonderful being with you. Every time that we are together, I always wish that time would stop. I am very grateful to you giving me this great opportunity of spending and sharing my life with you. Every moment is treasured in my heart. I love you so much, always and forever. Happy First Year Anniversary! There may be more difficulties ahead of us yet I will remain strong. As Taylor Swift says in her song, “Life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water’s rough, but this love is OURS.” No one can take this away from us. Instead we’ll cultivate it with more love, faith and trust.
