Words are funny, I have always seen words as mere tools to get a point across but lately words have become much more than simple tools to be used to get a message across. There are certain words I hear/speak now that relay certain images to my mind. They are often images we would associate with positive connotations rather than the negative ones I have been so used to seeing in the past.
I used to hear a love song and think the words were constructed in such a way to sell albums but recently I’m starting to think that love isn’t a thing that is sold but rather it is a feeling that you don’t think is possible until you experience yourself, because nothing could possibly be as beautiful as how love feels. It’s as if life is holding on to its most beautiful gift until the time comes when you can truly appreciate it and ironically at the time when you think love doesn’t exist at all.
But I’m not going to give the credit to the universe on this one, oh no. The credit for how I’m feeling these days belongs to the most beautiful, intelligent, unique individual that God so graciously put on this earth at the same time as myself. She was the one I thought couldn’t possibly exist. The one that the love songs talk about. She did nothing but be herself to win me over the way she has and, without knowing has completely shifted my paradigm on how I perceive every aspect of this journey we all share around the sun.
I wish I could tell her how she saved me; I wish I could explain how she made the colours in the sky brighter or the darkness in the night sky more profound. But I don’t think there are any words in our modern vocabularies to do justice as to the impact she has had on my world.
I didn’t realise it was possible for a person to ever make you feel as though when you look at her everything else going on in that room is irrelevant and unimportant compared to what I see when I look in her eyes. This is the feeling that life has held secret in then uncovers it to you in the same way a child feels when he looks under the tree on Christmas Day and opens a gift that they’ve been waiting for all year.
Gentlemen, if you are losing hope just remember I was there too. I didn’t think it was possible to ever feel these feelings that I’m experiencing right now. This is probably just around the corner for you too without you even realising, because this gift dropped right out of the sky for me and hit me with a left hook so powerful that it would leave Mike Tyson in the dust with the power in which I’ve been floored by it.
To you. You know who you are. You have done more for me and have had more of an impact in the short time we’ve been together than I could have ever imagined possible. If you told me today, you were a magician playing one big elaborate trick on me I would honestly believe you because it feels like magic the impact you’ve had on my life. So this is my letter to you, and this is the start of the greatest adventure of our lives!
To the very fires of Mordor.
