*Insert Name Here*

I never thought the words "I love you" would become such an understatement. They seem to leave out something or forget a memory;
because I don't just love you for the present; but I love you for your past & what we could become in the future.

I adore you.

I crave you.

I want nothing more than you.


But, for lack of a better word, I love you.

Passport to nowhere.

   & so began our journey.

From that moment I knew life would be a good kind of different;

  It would be filled with adventure, mistakes, and a love that would last for eternities.

We would only speak when necessary 

And you would take me away when it was time,

Time to just escape it all again. 

We wouldn't need to worry about anything but us and the comfort of each others skin,

The world would be at our finger tips &

We would dance under the stars.

Time wouldn't exist because we would only base our days on the rising and lowering of the sun.

Let's get away darling and see the world.
Just you & me. 

"I am the Light of the World..."

He knows me & He knows you.

He already went through it all so He could succor to our every moment of weakness and trial. 

Suffering in pure agony He did His Father's will, He could have said no more, but instead, He didn't.

Christ never leaves us; we may step away, but there is never a moment when His hand is not stretched out. 

The moments of loneliness are only us forgetting who is always there. 

Forget not to whom you belong to.

We are heirs to a Kingdom of Glory & never ending happiness. 

This pain will go away.
This heartache will pass if we but give it to Him.
Give everything to Him and He will take it away to give you pure joy.
Let Him awake your soul.
Let Him refine, refresh, & bring to your remembrance the great plan He has for YOU.

Let our faith carry us to be better. To never doubt what we know is true.
He is our shepherd and He knows His sheep.

Never forget. 

Dear Elder.

Lately I've been thinking about you; but that's not new.
I've been thinking about how as soon as you left I could write poetry again. There was no point to writing when you were here because I couldn't even put my thoughts into words without sounding like a rambling mess. My dreams had finally turned into reality. My plans turned into Our plans.

Now here I am, reminiscing. Hoping you know that I love you. There hasn't been a single day or moment you don't cross my mind. I decided to wear your hoodie you gave me today. I haven't been strong enough to put it on since now. But knowing life is changing and moving at a rate that I can't keep up with, I needed you close. I needed to feel the sense that you were wrapped around me holding me so I could hear your heart beat while slowly kissing my forehead and squeezing me tighter.

I just miss you. I know you're coming back, but today, going through all of this, it made me realize I need you and want you more than I have ever wanted someone before.

You cause me to tremble and make my knees goes weak. It's sounds cliche', but  I love that.
I thought about how stubborn I was with you and how patient you were with me.

That moment when I thought it was time for me to walk away, but realized I couldn't. We talked for hours, and sealed our promises with a kiss.  I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I miss my Elder. I miss my best friend who conveniently is the person I have fallen completely and absolutely in love with.

It wasn't fate that brought you to me, it was divine intervention.

& I will see you soon My Love.

Let's Grow Old Together.

I can't help but picture that day when I can hold you close to me again & kiss you whenever I want.

I see couples everywhere and I can't help but stare and wonder if they know how lucky they are.
You can't see him for 2 weeks? Try 2 years. Try knowing that you can only talk to them on Christmas if you're one of the lucky ones. Try knowing that everything could change and you could never see it coming because the mail ran slow that week.

I re-read every single letter you wrote me a few days ago. I never knew "I love you" could turn into the biggest understatement I've ever written. You have become someone that I never want to see leave my life again. I want our second first date to be the last first date we have. I could spend the rest of my Friday nights snuggled on the coach next to you while playing Scrabble just because I know you love that game.

I saw your family the other day and I watched your parents as they laughed and looked at each other with something that reminded me of us. I watched as your dad softly woke your mom from the coach and brought her a glass of water. I saw you in him.

You're that once in a lifetime type of guy.
You're that person I could wake up to every morning and never get tired of rolling over to see that smile. Not never.

Lend me your Ear.

So I listened... 

You told me about your fears and how you hate dirty dishes. 

I smiled, wanting to kiss you. 

& then it was as if God whispered to me, "This is him." And then I  realized I could stay in this conversation for the rest of my life. I realized everything about me makes sense with you. 

I believe.

Turn to God and everything changes; including you.
