A Letter To My Love

You complete me because I am yours completely

A Letter To My Love

Your eyes attract me the most. No, it's your charming smile which attracts me the most. The sweet whisper in my ear is what I love about you. When you cringe on small things, I love to see your face. When you get angry, I love to see your face. It's your pretty face which makes me go nuts over you. The way you speak to me makes me go crazy for you. But, let me tell you that I love everything about you.
Before I met you, something was missing in my life. I really don't know what it was. But, since the time you came into my life, I started feeling complete. Yes, that is true, I am only for you. Baby, I love you so much, all day long I yearn for your touch. Your presence in my life gives me a new high. Your feeling of love is felt from the heart. Now, that you and I are together, we shall never ever part. I just want to thank you for coming in my life.
Because of you, I know what I've been missing. Because of you I now know, without a doubt, that real, pure, true, and honest love exists. Because of you I have learned of selfless love and experienced it firsthand. Not everyone is capable of giving such love, and not many are lucky enough to find such love. But because you are capable, I am lucky. And because of this, I am capable and you are lucky, too.
I look at you, the cards you laid on the table, knowing there is nothing up your sleeve but a tender heart, and I can't believe I've been doing it all wrong for so many years. I question if I ever knew what true love was, before you showed me. I question if I've ever really been loved, before you loved me. So many years I wasted trying to control love with uncooperative approaches, thinking if I could take full control, I could protect my heart and keep it from breaking. But through your patience, your kindness, and this beautiful love you give, you've shown me that if someone loves you, they will give you their best, and their only, without ever having to ask.
I have willingly surrendered thoughts of control, possession, jealousy, irrationality, double standards, self righteousness, and stubbornness, and proudly replaced them with compassion, understanding, compromise, gratitude, generosity, fairness, logic, and teamwork. All because of you. All because of your unwavering love. You lead and I follow. It's mesmerizing how you tame me.
You have taught me a love, a selfless love. A love I've never known. A fairytale kind of love. A love where your only job is to do for the other, and in order to obtain true selfless happiness, you must put forth your best efforts to make your partner happy, as this in turn will deliver the same feeling of satisfaction within.
No one lights a candle to the magic you've brought to my life. For the first time, I know I am not settling. I found something I want to work my hardest on, because I know there is nothing better than this.
For the first time, I feel inadequate of someone else's love. Because of this, I will always give you my best. You are better than me, yet you treat me as an equal. I need you. You continue to teach me. You have something so beautiful and priceless to offer. Having met you is a reward in itself, but being able to call you my love, being your first choice for a future, humbles me to be open and mindful of even the most difficult situations we may encounter ahead.
Never before have I ever been with someone who actively tried to please me. Someone who thinks of me often in their actions. Someone who I know puts me before the number one. Someone who is so honest it sometimes hurts, but I know I'd never rather have it any other way, as your honesty continues to shower my faith in you so that it many continue to grow.
You give me a sense of certainty that I have chosen the perfect person to share this life with. We are a team. No single one of us can ever be more right than the other. We make decisions together. We carry the other person when their legs give out. We treat each other as rare and as special as we hold each other in our hearts. Always giving and able, we take from one another, not things with dollar value, but lessons, and growth. We are grateful to each other of the things we learn from one another. We compliment often. And when we apologize for something, we show it by never having to apologize twice for the same thing. You respect me. I respect you. We respect what we have and neither one of us work against it.

I love you.
I adore you.

You are my first love of selfless love, but my last love of every love. I have bested my search. It ends with you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
