We have lived a lifetime most couples never know, and yet, when I look at you, I am frightened by the knowledge that all this will be ending soon. God is with you, He must be, for you are the closest thing to an angel that I've ever seen. You are the most forgiving and peaceful man I know. Kindness, that's what I see when I look at you, that's what everyone sees. You have something inside you, something beautiful and strong. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together. You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most.

Who was I to question a love that rode on shooting stars and roared like crashing waves? For that is what is was between us then and that is what it is today. My heart had been captured, and I knew inside that it had always been yours. I see the flame beside me and it reminds me of another fire, (with me in your soft clothes and you in your jeans) of me and you. And I will feel your warmth and your comfort, and your breaths will slowly guide me to the place where I dream of you and the wonderful man you are. And though I can't hear the soft sounds of your slumber, I know you are there, and soon I will be lying next to you again as I always have. I write this letter by candlelight as you lie sleeping.
