Love Letter (II)
July 8, 2007 at 9:09 am | Posted in letters, love | 31 Comments‘Ello Love,
It’s been a while since I wrote. It’s not that I haven’t been thinking of you. Trust me, you are always on my mind. I carry the hope of you around in my heart. The possibility of you is present in every moment.
I have a good life. I am happy for the most part. I really can’t complain. Work is meaningful, friends are plentiful, laughs are frequent, adventures abound and, well, I’ve always got my health, right? I am grateful for the life I live. My gratitude does not diminish with the absence of you. . . it’s just that, life would go from good to great if you were here.
Sometimes when I’m cooking I’ll be dancing around to some music while chopping vegetables (always eat your vegetables!) and you are there, spinning me until we are breathless (let me put down the knife first!), until I collapse into your open arms laughing. We like to dance, particularly in the kitchen.
Or maybe I am in the car driving along and you’re there stretched out in the passenger seat, leaning over to crank up the radio when you hear a song you love. You throw your head back belting out the words. The windows are down and the sun is shining and we’re headed anywhere we please. It doesn’t matter the destination, just as long as we’re going there together.
Sometimes I am shopping at the grocery store and you show up changing it from a chore to an adventure. I spend too long in the produce section while you linger longingly over processed meats. I want special whole grain bread and you just want beer. You push the cart which you already know totally wins me over. I love you for this.
I love you for so many reasons I lose track. You are everywhere and everything. You are me. I am you. You are the first person I want to see when I wake up and the last person I want to touch before I fade into slumber. Your voice is my favorite song. You light me up just by being spazzy, sweet you.
I know we are making our way to one another. I trust that. I trust you. Patience and I are good friends now. And Faith and I have gotten close. Anticipation shows up sometimes. She’s got good energy. I just wanted you to know that I am taking care of myself while I am missing you and that I’m eager for your arrival.
Until then. . .
XOXO,
Sizz

This is so beautiful…and such a great idea to send it out to the cosmos for it to be read by everyone that has a chance to help make this come true, and it will, I promise, someday it will. You just keep close to patience and faith, and surely love will join in soon enough.

Pushing the cart is sexy? No wonder I get some money smiles in the grocery store. I thought it was because my zipper was down.
Beautiful post.

This is very sweet, Sizz. I love that you wrote it and posted it. :)

Wow. That is absolutely beautiful Sizzle. Keeping the good karma gods on you side, with a little faith and hope thrown in can only bring good things.

I really really love this. A lot.
I think my challenge is learning to be patient.. but I’ll get there too.

What an amazing idea! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve composed something similar in my mind.
Being patient is the hardest thing, but knowing that it’s out there and you WILL find it makes it easier.
I love how you believe! Keep those beliefs and that hope. You deserve a love as astounding as you are! Wait for it and I know it will come to you.

This is magnificent. Your voice truly shines through in this one.
The second paragraph is very, very loaded with stuff you don’t seem like you can say. And then the last line of it starts the trickle and BAM the floodwaters burst forth. I admit, I was skeptical in the second paragraph, but the rest of the post knocked me dead.
Please, keep surprising me.

Miss Siz, This is beautiful! You love him already.
But please don’t be him too much as you or you too much as him. You know, the whole Khahil Gibran “two trees standing together looking out at the world rather than two trees facing each other” thing – your love will be stronger and last longer. Let him be hiim and you be you.
I know he’ll find you and you’ll find him. : )

But mostly what I meant to say was – that was beautiful.

So much better than just a list. I love these entries.

It is a lovely thought, the stuff in this letter. Here’s the thing though– Reality.
Romance is what is in women’s heads. Reality is what you get, with a man. Just sayin’!

Nicely written. Reminded me of My lovely wife and I when we were just dating. While I long for those days, I would not give up one second of these days, there is just as much love if not as much romance.

Oh wow … this was so powerful.
I don’t know if you’re thinking of someone in particular or just someone in general. I find myself doing the same thing you do … with both respects.
I’ll sometimes be at home reading or I’ll be driving in my car and I’ll think to myself, “I wonder what he’s doing right now” not knowing who that HE is but knowing he is mine .. or will be.
You climbed in my head and wrote down my exact sentiments on this one. I love it.

I think words and vision always go a long way into making the things come true.
Comment by Neil— July 9, 2007 #
Awwww. So beautiful, so well written. May patience pay off in spades. :)
Comment by diane— July 9, 2007 #
I love, love, love this. Mostly because it shows so much hope and positivity. (Is that a word?) You are such a great person and I KNOW he’s out there… probably writing a letter to YOU right this minute.

Cheesy to say, but I think I just got a little teary reading that. Perfect. Nuff said.
Comment by Elaine— July 9, 2007 #
That’s awesome…we’ve got to stay positive.
Comment by Dawn— July 9, 2007 #
I loved this. It will happen when you least expect it…I know it’s cliche…but I am living proof.
Comment by Foo— July 9, 2007 #
Lovely post. I know you will someday find that special someone out there waiting for a special woman like you. Though we’ve never met, you shine through in your writings.

That letter is just beautiful. I wish you get what you want.
Comment by Anica— July 11, 2007 #
I sent this to all my friends who also know Patience, Faith and Anticipation too. This is so perfect that, even though I met My Love and married him, I’d like to paste this up. Wait, I think I will. PRINT! Thank you.
