BUTTERFLIES, ZEBRAS AND OTHER FAIRY TALES Hey baby, You left last night, late. I know you will only be gone for 4 days, but I missed you before you even left. There is something about you that I don't feel like I can live without. I have always prided myself on my independence and senses of detachment, but you have changed that. When you are around, I can't help myself. I have to touch you, kiss you, physically love you. You know I love you and you me. But, it is so easy to say it-anyone can do it. With you, I want to show it. I love laying next to you in bed with my leg and arm across you and my head in your armpit. You always smell so good. I love your body-no matter how you feel about it. I have never felt so comfortable around anyone before, and I know you feel the same way. Before you, I didn't want marriage or children; now I can't wait for it. I want to be one of those couples that still love each other in 60 years. We're young-we can make it to 60 years or more. I love the way you always know what's best for me, but you let me decide/figure it out. Before you, I never really knew what it was like to share my life. I always closed people out-scared of being hurt. Sometimes I wonder how I could cope without you if our life ever came to that. I don't know how I would. You don't have to worry about me falling out of love because these feeling are real, raw, intoxicating. I know you catch me staring at you sometimes; I think you are beautiful-even if you don't believe me. I hope that you understand my feelings (which I think you do). I feel helpless when you are around. I love that feeling of uncontrollable self-indulgence. I don't mind to let go with you. You make me feel whole. I have found my better half. You make the air sweeter and the day timeless. If my world could stop, it would be because of and for you. I love you passionately and tenderly. Please don't abuse me, just love me the way that I love you. I know you love the way I love you; you have told me. All I ask is that you return the affection for as long as I can give it to you. I need you. I want you. I love you. Just make sure I never lose my butterflies and I promise you'll never lose yours. Hopelessly in Love with you, the love letter collection
