Last night I told you I’m in love with you – no, it wasn’t the first time – nor will it be the last – but each time I tell you – it does indeed “feel” like the first time….my heart is always wide open with you and I light up each and every time I hear your voice and when you tell me about your dreams for your world how I see and hear your voice and your eyes dance at the complete joy and enthusiasm you have for life despite any difficult days you might have and I am blessed with these incredible glimpses of the enormous goodness inside you – and you just step inside this wide-open cavity of my chest after it having been hollow for such a long time – and my heart it is full. Completely. Overflowing.
When I am done talking with you – sharing time with you…I breathe in deep and listen to music and I sit with the words and I write to you – sometimes I send the words –or other times like tonight I send them out into the “world” so people who seem to be so jaded about love sometimes can truly know that “yes” that “that kind of love does exist” – and others I just write because no matter how much music there is or how many beautiful words there are – it never seems to be enough or “good” enough to express the depth of how much my heart does indeed love you – and if I send the words I fret thinking a million things: how your brow might furrow when you read my words – how the light might dance across your face and a smile touch your lips – how can I touch such a woman whose beauty and elegance inside and out – seems to know no bounds – and then I hear from you…and my heart pounds inside my chest and I can hear the thumping in my ears and the blood literally rush through my veins…even now – how do I really express how my heart swells and bursts and cracks and beats at the mere sound of your voice and the sweetness of your “hello” ….
So as I send these words and this song out into the night for you “this” night…maybe you will catch them and bring them into your heart and know how much you are loved by me…and that I adore you in every possible way and that to me – you are the most wonderful and gracious and beautiful woman that ever was or will be….and you take my breath away each and every day…and being out of breath for loving you is the single most incredible thing that could ever be. You leave me breathless sleeping or awake and my veins pound against my skin with excitement at knowing that you allow me the single greatest pleasure of loving you and pledging my heart and life to you for the rest of my life….the words I love you don’t even begin to describe…and yet, they are the words that the scribes and poets long before me use….so who am I to part with such good company…so….thank you – for filling my heart – making it pound and taking my breath away every single day. I love you.
As I think of you this night – with the stars shining bright and the moon beaming down – Andrea Bocelli says in music – what I cannot in words….
Nel Cuore Lei (Love inside the heart)
_________IF you already know the love
And what it wants
You’ll also know that you’ll have
To give everything you have to it
You’ll bind forever, until the end of your life, to love…
Love will take your heart
It will win you
It will be your street
The street you could never leave
To it you’ll bind forever, until the end of your live, to love…
And there’s nothing like love
And there’s nothing to understand
It’s all here
Its greatness
In that lightness
That only love can give you
It will be like that and then
It will be more and more
You’ll love it – because you’ll believe in it
To it you’ll bind forever, to love you’ve found…
