-On my heart is a gaping wound that won’t close.  Exposed and raw, everything that comes near only seems to irritate.  I bite down and endure the peaks and valleys of pain because one loving touch or one warm word can soothe and dull the ceaseless ache.  But I would sooner rip it from my chest than bear it for a lifetime.

The above sentiment was an eloquent way to let you know that I am vulnerable and exposed, and a seemingly simple message of us going to Hawaii next Christmas touches my heart and nurses my wound.  My words to you are sincere and I implore you the same.

And P.S., I hate being in this fucking position, like some weak bitch who cries herself to sleep at night.  I am not.  I am a man, proud and strong, who is in love

 

-Erin,

This I swear to you I believe:

1. I believe that we are more right together than we are with anyone else.
2. I believe we have a deep level of love that is highly improbable to find in this world.
3. I believe that our connection (or call it what you will) has endured time, distance, ups and downs, and somehow, inexplicably remains in tact.
4. I believe that I do and will love you deeper than any man.
5. I believe that we have issues, but our issues can be worked out.
6. I believe that you would regret not choosing me.
7. I believe we didn’t meet on accident.  You were made for me.
8. I believe we will have the most beautiful and smart children who would be educated, well traveled and worldly.
9. I believe your life would be more enriched with me.
10. I believe that I understand you.
11. I believe that our futures are brighter when we’re together.
12. I believe that our love making is just better.
13. I believe that no shoe box can hold me.
14. I believe that we have both longed for the other for far too long and it’s time to make it happen for real so we can stop being tortured and finally be happy.
