Happy Valentines Day

So I admit at times I can be a bit cheesy. I think in matters of love, all relationships can benefit from a little mozzarella, or utilizing a cliche from time to time. And honestly who is to judge creativity from cheesiness anyway? It really comes down to the object of the affection of the one making the gesture. And since it is Valentine's Day its only right we wax poetically about love, no?
So what is love anyway? According to Wikipedia, "Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment." Hmm...poignant, but is that enough? For me, and what I feel for the woman I love this definition does not sum up all the feelings that pour over me when I think of her. Therefore Love cannot define the feeling I have for her. This woman is amazing. She is like the first rays of sunshine basking over your entire body warming and enlightening something that was shivering in darkness.

I adore her:
Her New York saavy and accent- her well to do attitude and sometimes bourgeois attitude. Her huge eyes which I stare into sometimes and I swear I see a future that more so resembles fireworks, complete with colored specs of earth green and champagne gold, than life itself. Her wit which constantly keeps me on my toes, causes me to laugh so hardy that I acheive stomach aches, and smile so much that my cheeks are sore after minutes in her presence.
I amdire her:
Her heart and resiliency to never give up on what she wants and what she believes in. She held on to a thought that at times seemed so farfetched that even she questioned her own sanity for believeing it would one day come to fruition! She has truly shown me that if you really believe in something and really want it go after it with the full fervor of a person making a life saving leap from unstable footing to stable grounds.
She embodies everything a loved one is:
A friend, confidant, protector, mentor, one who teaches and gives advice, lends not a helping hand but a saving grasp. A partner who shares in life as a whole your health and well being finances, emotions, interests...you encompass everything that another person can want and need in a soulmate.

The ironic thing is we once had a conversation in which I could not say I was In love with her. It's not that I'm not in love with her its because I've been in love before, several times and it is in no way remotely close to what I feel now. This new feeling has to take its own shape, described by new terminology. For me to say that "I love you" or to say that Im simply in love with you is an understatement. It would be like one being asking "Where are you from?" and responding "From Earth." I'm so far deep into the abyss of this emotion that I can not be reached by air, let alone logic or literarture. She leaves me breathless with each kiss or gesture of affection.

Nobody is perfect but you are perfect for me. I can not sit at His feet and plead with God to construct a more beautiful person to share the rest of my days with. You are like an Angel that was with me every step of my life, unknowingly to me, guiding me to the perfect moment in which we "re-met". And upon your travel from Heaven to Earth, you crashed and sustained a few bodily injuries- and that was my cue to be there for you as you have been there for me. From that moment on it has been an unwritten and unwarranted duty of mine to protect you- for Angels don't belong on Earth they belong in Heaven. Therefore you need a protector, a guardian to keep you safe. This mutually accepted task, to ensure each others well being, is at that root of our love and I am 1,000% certain it will be the lubrication which fuels our love for centuries.
Candice I loved (for lack of a better term ha!) you at the Gazebo, I expressed it on a post it and I will embrace it forever. There is no human condition- not poverty, nor sickness, nor death, there is no natural disaster- not hurricane, nor earthquake, blizzard or typhoon there is no distance- not New York, not D.C. nor North Philadelphia that will keep me from you or my love from shining on you.

Happy Valentine's Day baby.
