Yay!! There you are!! I said to myself, “I feel like she’s nowhere to be found today! But my intuition has been off before! Like a year ago today!!” And, yay!! My intuition was happily wrong, because there you are!! That heart-melting look – – again!! And, this time, a smile at the end! A smile that does such things to me. You’re the most beautiful woman who has ever been. Well, today makes one year since I elevated my “game” – in quotes, but it never feels that way! But after it happened, I thought, “Ah, I would have done the same thing!” It was only then I seemed to find my voice; how to express from a real place. To write deeper and more meaningfully. And not silly little posts – those kinds I can’t stand – where people preach righteously on how to make it a better day. I took it down a notch, while revealing my flaws (I hope). And simply wrote directly to you, in the hopes you might ever read. I know it’s nothing compared to who you are, and also all that you do. But it seemed to resonate when at my best. And it felt I heard from hundreds of others – well, all except you. I’m so happy all the same!! I know I’m silly, but I just adore you. I saw you, and I was like a dog seeing her master again in heaven! That kind of jumping up and down, with love and unbridled bliss so strong, the puppy simply doesn’t know what to do with it!! So it’s this gushing display. There’s too much love inside her body, so she breathlessly laps and jumps up and down! That feeling of coming home. That’s how it feels inside when I see you. I don’t know why, it’s simply what it is! I know it makes no sense, but I’m so *so* happy to feel such beautiful feelings for someone so special. I feel like there were two days in my life were I was reborn. The first was a few years ago when I decided drinking and me were not a good combination. And I went straight-edge all the way. The second was the best of all. Of course, it’s when I saw you! And especially since that day that was a year ago today, I realized “I’d have done the same thing she did!!” I look back at my posts before that day, and I mostly cringe. Anything I’ve ever written that was good was a result of that day. So I love no words were ever said. You made me try harder, and finding a place so much deeper inside. A place I didn’t know I had! Simply to express what is felt for you. With no realistic goal in mind. I honestly don’t have one. I’ve still got a ways to go, but I’m so much stronger a year later. And a bit more sure. And anything that continues to improve in me, I owe it all to you. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world. It gets trickier to do! And yet I simply can’t stop doing it. Well, I won’t, unless you say, “That’s enough!!” Seeing you brings me such happiness inside. I guess it’s really as simple as that. I’m always happier when I see you. Even as I wrote way back near the start, I jump out of bed in the morning like a child in the hope of seeing your face. And you’re my last thought at night. You are simply stunning today. You’re everything any guy dreams about. I hope this holiday you feel all the love that the world feels for you. Thank you for continuously inspiring me. Some days are better than others. Some posts are better than others, for sure (I know this one isn’t so good! I need to rest and reset it a bit.) 😅 But I’m so excited to rejuvenate and get back to what I seem to do best. Admiring you! Anything else that is good seems to spring from that. You show me what’s possible. How beautiful someone can be. You motivate and inspire me – you leave me breathless endlessly! – and I’m filled with all this light and energy! All because I saw you. It’s the silliest thing. I know it’s crazy. But I embrace “silly” and “crazy,” because it’s been the most wonderful feeling in the world! And you never let me down. We all have our ups and downs. But there’s never a time you’re not magic. There’s never a day when I see you my heart doesn’t race. There’s never a second when I look in your eyes and not feel hypnotized. And humbled, with the wonder of a child. You’re that beautiful, and you’re that wonderful. You are beauty I’ve never seen before. And it’s this way – it’s simply how it is! – all the time. Thank you for whatever magical stuff it is that makes you who you are. Happy Valentine’s Day!!❤️

You shine!! You’ve got this wonderful light about you! Whomever you touch this year, they’ll be better for it. You’re so greatly loved. You are so beautiful as you are. ❤️ You close it as you opened it! Bookending greatness. And somehow you shine more now than you did even back then! However that it’s possible! The best only gets better. The best being you. As time marches forward, you travel up. While the rest go one way, you somehow go another. You set the bar for others. And not only that! You playfully raise it while others scramble to find where you last placed it! You are such beauty. That breathless kind! You are magic inexpressible. You’re so much grander than words. When mystified and struggling to describe, all that comes is a sigh. How does she make me fly? To let me really feel as if I am. All while she’s flying so much higher above. A dove, pristine and divine. So much can be said in a sigh. So much can be communicated in the eyes. The eyes of those who see you. These eyes that love you. They are eyes forever changed. You’re this feeling of falling in love. Over and over again. And yet I never land! Falling for months that become years on end, and never touching sand. Reviewing a year, it’s spent on memories of you. How can you blame me? You are what beauty is. You are beauty defined. The look you give. Your understated charm. You are so smart, yet you don’t let others feel dumb. You’re right, yet you don’t feel a need to make others wrong. You care so deeply on issues, and it’s well known, and still you allow others to be as they are. In truth, anything that is important to you, immediately becomes a cause! It’s taken up! In one’s own heart. Because of you, it’s all felt. Inside. It’s this and a million other things you do. And you pull it all off! While being the most beautiful woman in the world. You’re queen and king of your space. Bookending greatness. And everything in between is a shelf spilling over with wonder and faery dust and magic wands. You’re astounding to see. People fall so in love with you, and they worry over the silliest things. As if they know you as a friend. It’s something felt in the heart. You’re caring. You’re loving. You’re not cruel. Oh, the way you effortlessly fuse! All these elements of your personality! Everything is a touch above, with you. Others try. And they are beautiful, too! And they are loved! But, you! Oh, you! You’re this golden celestial zipper! Unzipping across the sky! And revealing the sky was merely a placeholder! Over that ceiling there’s another floor! And it rises so high! There are dimensions and colors never seen before, just hiding behind! And that’s only a preview! Of you! All this magical wondrous heavenly stuff that is all inside of you! You’re so beautiful you can make a person cry. Tears filled with what’s past, rolling off cheeks, over lips smiling anew. Like being born again. After a long journey through trial, seeing the promised land. That’s what you do. And you do it all the time. The beauty of you. It’s staggering. No words will ever do. You evoke a deepest solemn wish inside. This wish to honor you. You touch so deeply within, some place of limitation, and you open it up. You clear out the space, and you swing open the doors! There is reason to smile again. And to laugh and to cry! Because so honestly put, there has never been anyone so beautiful as you. And when skyrockets explode at the stroke of midnight, know each one is an expression of what you do. Inside. These hearts you have touched. All these rumblings and explosions and whistling sounds! It is your beauty, and all of its hues. Too countless to number, and yet still you’re so much more. Celestial zippers in the sky, and passageways of gold dancing among stars soaring by. You light up the world. You light up mine. For you it’s a simple thing. You are so beautiful as you are. And what you are is everything. Happy Valentine’s Day!
