Words as an expression of love

I just had a few more DEEP THOUGHTS, and I wanted to write them down before they were lost in time.  When you read my letters, I know that you see my words.   Words can express feelings, but they are only a poor reflection of strong feelings.   People can write words that are false, and someone who reads them has no way to tell.   In many cases, I usually doubt the sincerity of an author who speaks too quickly or tries to sound too passionate.

As I write to you, the words in my letters do not seem to be enough to express the Powerful and Amazing feelings that I have.  When I say that "thinking of you makes me feel happy," the words do not truly express how joyous, wonderful, excited, and good I feel.

I often think that new words need to be created, just to express the feelings that I hold in my heart.  Any words that currently exist seem clumsy, unsuitable, or inadequate to express this.  I am filled with a limitless happiness and hope about the future we may share together.  You truly are the most wonderful, amazing, and important person in my life, but when I write the words on paper, they seem simple and inadequate.  I do not know how to express how special you are to me.  

My words are like a bad photograph of a beautiful, breathtaking sunset.  You can see what the picture is supposed to contain, but the full scope, perspective, and magnitude of the beautiful sunset is not captured.  The picture does not do justice to the real sunset.  The picture is just a poor reflection of an uncontainable, beautiful thing.  My words are the same.  To me, they often seem like a poor copy of the beautiful feelings that I cannot capture or justly express. My happiness has no end. My hope has no limits... When I think of you, anything seems possible.  I know that a single smile from you can give me the strength to do anything.  I could be or do anything for you, and I would do it with a heart - bursting with happiness.  

I do not know where these feelings come from.  I only know...  that knowing you has changed my life, and the change has been a good one.  I hope that some small part of my own feelings is reflected in your own heart.  I also hope the strength of my words echo inside you until it touches your own heart.

Remember, this letter is just a bunch of words ...    But, there are true feelings behind them.  This page is not filled with ink to impress you.   I wrote this page to express how my soul sings because I know you.
