AUTHOR'S NOTES: Feedback is greatly appreciated (especially if you like it)

DEDICATION: To the one who completes me.

Oh my Beloved,

I wish I could go to Thee now, and be with Thee forever. I curse the circumstances that keep us apart.

I love Thee, more than words can express. Thy presence fills my thoughts, lights up my days, invades my dreams and makes me happier than I ever thought I could be.

And more frustrated. Frustrated by the inability to take Thee in my arms and show Thee just how much I love Thee. Frustrated by the fact that I cannot shout from the rooftops that I love Thee beyond all reason, for all time.

I need to know that Thou lovest me, that Thou needst me, for my need for Thee is all encompassing.

Perhaps Elizabeth Barrett Browning's words come closest to the way I feel for Thee:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life !--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Thou art my soul, the air that lifts my being to new heights.

We will be together, my heart, I promise Thee. I cannot contemplate an existence without Thee.

I love Thee.
