I feel like a kid again!! I’ve got this youthful energy like I did back then! This wonder and this hopefulness. And, you’re the reason! And I can’t thank you enough!! I can’t worry about viruses. If I get it, I get it! I’ve simply got to live!! You’ve peeled all the old wallpaper off of things!! I’ve got this innocence like I’m fifteen. All I have to do is think of you! You’re the most beautiful girl in the world!! I know you’re the most successful woman on top of it! But from where I’m standing, you’re a girl to me! The prettiest!! And you are so profoundly breathtaking. You make my heart swoon!! *Everything* about you sends me over the moon!! I know I’m older, and I might not be your type. Ah, but maybe I am! All I live to do is gush over you!! That can’t be so bad! And I know – believe me – it’s a one in a thousand chance anything can happen (“only a thousand?” she says), but it’s more the one-in-a-hundred chance of being your friend that has me spinning! A buddy! A pal! Maybe when you’re older. You feel comfortable because my heart has thoroughly been vetted. That there’s this record of consistency over time; it’s something I’ve proven to you. Maybe! Someday! Who knows!! That’s the hope that infuses sunlight into everything. I know some dreams don’t come true. But I don’t need to know how this ends. Oh, no, not now! I’m so happy in the meanwhile! I told you I’m looking again after so much time. Ah! She tweeted something!! What does it mean?? Looking for hidden clues like I’m fifteen!! Who cares if there isn’t one there!! It’s so exciting because it comes from YOU!! And you inspire all this music out of my fingers, it fills up the room. Have you ever been in love with someone this way? Everything becomes so magical! Even the mundane! You find your way into everything and it lights up my day! And I feel like maybe – just maybe! – you see me out here, pouring my heart out to you for what’s going on two years. Maybe that magical tweet two weeks ago was for me, after all! Maybe it wasn’t! Who cares!! If we didn’t live in a digital age, there would be a scrapbook on my bed! I’d collect every newspaper clipping and photo of you, and put it all together as a tribute to you! Ah, maybe I will, anyway!! If you ever see it, I hope when you page through it, you would feel it was so lovingly made. You’re the greatest star of all. You honestly are! I’ll always be loyal to you. In my heart and in my mind. I have to imagine you have this effect on everybody!! But if only those who are extra special can see, then that makes *me!* extra special, actually, too!! Because I feel it the nth degree!! For you!! The sun rises over you, and it sets with you, too. I feel that with all my might. You’re the first thought when I awake, and you’re my last thought at night. You honestly, truly are! And I know things are okay just the way they are. Because even if the *impossible* happened, and I’m at your side someday, I *know* I’ll look back at ’18 to ’20 as this magical period in my life. Like when they say “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” These have been the most wondrous days of my life. Because everything in my life is lit by you. I know I can get a little dramatic! When things feel a little gray. But, honestly, would you prefer it any other way? Deep down, that is. It’s how you know the feeling is real. Otherwise it would all feel so surface and just words with nothing beneath. I feel so imbued with this sunshine today! Hope is the word of the day! I feel like a kid, even though I’m older, every blessed time I see you. You’re the most beautiful girl in the world!! And by far the most amazing, too. Knowing you’re out there! That you’re doing your thing! You’re striving and you’re thriving! Who knows where you’ll turn up next?? I know, wherever it is, I’ll be seeing you. It’s the joy of loving you. And the sun is shining! Inside and out. It’s going to be a beautiful day! Thank you. Ah!! Thank you a million times over!! If you only knew what you do!! ❤️ You’re amazing. 🥰
