What has happened to me? This is supposed to be a vacation.
In the past week, I have been living my life at an accelerated pace that only those who have felt what I’m feeling know what I’m talking about.

This week, I have taken five steps more than my usual count with thoughts of you in my future. My time has been well spent with thoughts of you and I and has turned personal time into our time.

Every love poem ever written was written with the feelings I have for you. Do I understand? No, yet I enjoy the passion and love bestowed up me, so much I am motivate to add my own to the list.

My heart amazes me at how it has defeated insecure thought of you and others and how I have forgotten all about my ‘others.’ But I am also amazed at how strong the heart is and how fragile the feelings are it possess.
GOD’s love has to be incredible to even allow me to taste this emotion and indulge myself in this intangible, indescribable, intoxicating emotional journey that ends tomorrow.

One, I haven’t lived at my mother’s house in years and two, when letters go to your mother’s house from a woman, it’s usually not a good.

See, I had just gotten married and I knew this was one of those letters that could bring drama to my marriage (more…)
