Dear Emily and Patrick,

Together, may you find a love as pure as the one I’ve so graciously known.

I wrote this from the perspective of Emily, whom I have always felt a deep connection to.

I love you!

Enjoy…

Your love…

A gentle whisper swirling in the wind.

I hear it with my soul

sometimes following

sometimes leading

always together

A silly game we play into the wee hours of the night

clapping

slapping

laughing wildly

you, the devoted teammate, weaving confidence around the table

bringing out the best in everyone that plays

we, crowned champions, take the pot with a full deck of sweet memories to tuck into our pockets

Your love…

A warm hug wrapping completely around me.

I feel it even when you aren’t near

A powerful river, a silvery liquid ribbon, flowing to the ocean depths of my heart

caressing and cradling it

smoothing and softening it

slowly

gently

transforming it into a jar filled with a thousand frosted, sun-kissed jewels

what was once broken and lost, now a beautiful treasure

Your love…

A brilliant blue sky pouring golden beams of light over my darkest fears.

I welcome it with my arms outstretched

A silent rock nestled amongst an ancient forest awaiting my surrender

strengthened by storms past

etched with forgotten stories

patiently

humbly

offering support

from it I jump wholeheartedly into it’s waterfalls

the thrill of freedom buoyed in trust and comfort

An eloquent pen writing our story.

I see it come to life

the script unfolding as we go

filling blank pages using a language all our own

the two of us painting a blank white canvas

each stroke of the brush an offering of gratitude

living in an endless supply of ink and color

breathing meaning and purpose from imperfections

A serendipitous rainbow in an unlikely spot adored by the heart that notices

this tiny, miniature rainbow that could fit perfectly in the palm of my hand, bursts with

instant excitement

playful joy

magic and wonder at my fingertips

Your love…

A favorite song playing in my head, all the words known by heart, a harmony we generated.

I sing it loud and clear

A continually blooming garden rooted in my bones

intertwining souls

steeped in blissful beauty

intoxicating aroma

allowing the essence of who I am to release

Our love…

A mirror reflecting a dream come true.

I found you

there you are, my twin flame smiling back at me

grounded in the forever memories of two hearts drenched in love

A curious amalgam of

tranquility today

hope tomorrow

promise forever
