Once again, you came to me with open arms. The air was warm, as was your hand that caressed my face – your fingers that gently traced my lips. It was so good to see you when, after all this time I thought, that you had forgotten about the love we shared and held in our hearts so deeply.

I hate it when I open my eyes and find that you’re not here anymore. After all these months, you’d think I’d be used to it by now.

I’m not. I don’t think I’ll ever be.

I wonder if your world plays a symphony of sadness the way my world does. Do you know what it’s like to cry yourself to sleep each night?

I’m sorry that I wasn’t with you when you departed. You know I would have been beside you had I known you would be leaving. The time and day were kept secret, though, as were my feelings for you. I guess I should have told you I love you when you where here to listen.

Now you are too far away for me to say what I’ve always felt.

Death has taken you from me, but death cannot deny me of my dreams of you. I will wait for you each night when I lay down to go to sleep.

Yes, I will wait, and I will always love you.

Grace Covelli’s Biography: I love the English language and writing from the heart. For more than ten years I have been writing articles, poems and letters. When I’m not writing, I’m giving someone reflexology, reiki, or a facial.

It’s such an inconsistency, falling in love. The feelings and hopes mixed with the doubts and fears. The future I dream of seems like a fantasy… a fantasy that has roots in our reality. Meeting you has had the power to change everything.

I have spent my entire life dreading the passing of time, time wasted and of it all ending. Now, all I wish is that time would speed forward and rush past me like the wind of a storm. This is because when enough time has passed, I can finally be with you. The day will come when I can wake up in your arms. When that time comes, I will be waking up from dreams that have come true.

I know it is too soon to tell you all of these feelings and thoughts I am having, but these feelings are here and I think it is important to write them down and express them in some way. One day, when we are in love, I will let you read this, and you will know how you have made me feel so early in our relationship.

I hope that, when we read this, we will laugh at how silly it was for me to doubt the fact we would be in love one day. My heart and even my head say this will be so. Still, feelings like this, feelings that are so strong, can’t help to seem anything but irrational and illogical.

Who really feels this way so soon? Then again, maybe this is how it is supposed to feel when you meet the right person.

All I know is that this is just the beginning of our story, and I can’t wait to see how it ends. I hope that it will end in ‘happily ever after’. Until then, I must wait here, so far away from you, and wait for the next chapter in our love story.

Hoping One Day To Be In Love With You,
Nannette
