I was dreaming of you as a little girl-imagining a perfect man that would steal my heart and keep it safe in his very own chest in place of his, which he has given to me to hold. I lay in bed at night wishing on every star I could see that I would meet such a man who could make me smile just by walking into the room. A man that could make me cry, not by hurting me, but by making me so happy that I could not control my tears. a man that I could spend every moment of my life with and never have a second of silence; one that held my hand to his chest so I could feel his love for me beating inside his heart so wildly that my hand would shutter. I have waited for a man that could fill, not only my heart with joy, but my entire being so that I could feel love deep in my stomach each time I would think of him. One that could make me smile with the slightest sound of his voice or the very thought of his beautiful face-a face that is imprinted in my mind; one that I see in my dreams every night as I sleep. A face that belongs only to you. I often sit and think of everything you are: your soft hair, your big glowing eyes that welcome me into every embrace that we share, your lips that I yearn to kiss, your arms that keep me warm and safe from all that surrounds us in this big world, and your soul that fits with mine to form one being full of love and warmth that no other person can take the place of. It is your entire self that I am in love with. I love you in the most amazing and complete way imaginable. Not only do I love you like all who are special to me, but I am in love with you. You and you alone. You are the man I have been dreaming of. Everything about you fits so perfectly into the image in my heart of my perfect man-the image that I began building as a young girl. You truly are my soul mate, the man that I was destined to love for all eternity. The man that I will share my every breath with, my every hope and dream. All of my heart is for you.
'I love you' means that I accept you for the person that you are and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I do not expect perfection from you-just as you do not expect it from me. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you when you're in a bad mood or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you're down-not just when you're fun to be with. 'I love you' means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them-asking in return only that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping that you feel the same way for me.
There's a secret word to which the doors of my heart are always open. It's your name.
