Unexpected...

Two letters in two days! How unexpected. Ever notice how when unexpected things happen it makes it 10 times better then expected things, and atleast with unexpected things its impossible to set your self up for dissapointment because there is no way of knowing what is going to happen. Its funny, i went to the mail box "just to check", knowing fully well that i would 9 chances out of 10 not get a letter, and when i opened it up and saw it i flipped! I ran home so fast and couldnt even breathe to read it to my mom and it was the sweetest thing! Obviously they are all the sweetest things =] This one was especially sweet cause it had a poem and a promise. The promise is to write me a poem every single week, about 9 more poems to go Joel! So far im on letter #24 only 63 more to go for me! Im so lucky to have such an awesome guy in my life. I dont even know what to do with all of this happiness he gives me. What did i do to deserve this amazing, caring, creative, and loving guy? Im just so lucky. I love these letters, just gives me a reminder that he is missing me just as much as i am missing him. Well, better start writing letter #25...

I loved you then

I love you now

I'll love you forever

♥

Every night love.

The begining of many...

What does it mean to truly love someone? When i read that for the first time i really had to think, and i realized that the definition of love is so impossible to define. Ive heard so many explanations of it. But to me, love is one of those things that will never truly be defined. It cant be. I know this from experience. I share a love with someone, and only him and i can understand the extent of what that means. I wish i could explain it, trust me. I've been told before that its in our nature to categorize things and when we cant categorize something we are all out of sorts. I believe this is true, especially with love. Its as if love was a book, along with cooking, cleaning, reading, and writing, but the difference with love, is that its it's own category so where would you place it on a shelf? I cant necessarily define what love is, but i know that it gives me this feeling that everything is going to be ok. It just feels so right. I couldn't tell you what exactly feels so right... but whatever it is... it feels that way. See, I'm all out of sorts... love is what makes everything feel good, its the feeling of satisfaction that nothing can compare to. The love of God, the love of accomplishments, the love of another human being... its all the same. An unexplainable feeling. I'm so blessed to have found someone who can be my other half, someone who is there for me when everything seems like its caving in around me, someone that i can count on and respect, and who i know can count on and respect me. The Marine Corps may have my love, but ill have his heart forever. We may have this distance between us, but distance makes the heart grow fonder, right? I already know that nothing could break us apart, absolutely nothing. And im proud to say that im in love with my best friend, someone who means the world to me, and who would sign up to do something that risks his life for my freedom. Missing you Joel =[
