a letter

My dearest,

I want to tell you what and how much you mean to me. But the problem is that you mean more to me than you can imagine, or I can tell you. If only it were as simple as looking you up in a dictionary and finding a whole list of meanings!

Our friendship has developed slowly, and the whole process of discovering you, of learning to understand you, of realizing the experiences that have made you what you are, has been truly rewarding.

Your courage awes me, your love humbles me, and your trust, when you do show it, seems like a life-fulfilling, long awaited reward. I remember the early days of our meeting. I have since understood that I did not always speak the language you could understand. I now appreciate the patience with which you listened to me, as I spoke about science, laboratory, language, and soccer and folklores and legends. I have been meaning to tell you that since the day I met you, I have not regretted it ever!

You represent, to me, all things that fascinate me, and all things that I admire. The fact that you have such a different range of experiences than me, and that you are still able to find so much common ground with me. I like your looks, and in fact every little thing that is YOU about you.

I could go on, but letters such as this are impossible to end. So it becomes necessary to enforce a full stop, with the promise of continuation in the form of another letter, soon.

So let me take this day to thank you for being who you are (cute, beautiful, adventurous, short tempered, funny, intelligent, a great shopper.) and for what you mean to me, the person to think about all the time, someone to hold on to and never let go.


I miss you, see you soon!
