The Love of Others, #2

(I was once a letter writer.  Here's a love letter. The names have been changed to protect the love.)

My Ayodtun, My Poppi, My Life, 

The first time we walked around the track, I fell in love with you. It didn’t matter that we walked for hours; I never got tired. That day everything you said about life was so right. And you listened to me, really listened. It’s strange to feel pure love; it’s like being seen and heard at the same time--a rare thing. Did you know I believed in you then?

I know God sent me a real man, a perfect and beautiful man with smooth and pretty skin like dark, melted chocolate. Even now after seven years of marriage, I fall in love every time I see you, like the first time we walked around the track for hours, and I never got tired. I knew then I could count on you forever.

How can I describe you? Solid, sweet, passionate… mine. My body craves you. You give me goose bumps and make me want you all the time.

You make me a strong woman because you are a strong, honest, and dependable man. And I can't help falling deeper and deeper in love with you.

 

Happy Valentines, My Love
