The Eighth

The day you came home, I was so excited and anxious. I got up early, cleaned my apartment, showered, made myself look pretty.

I didn't know what to expect. Would we be close or distant? Would it be comfortable like before, or awkward and weird? Even as I wondered, I already knew the answer.

I didn't know what time you would arrive in town, or if I would see you right away. Maybe I wouldn't see you for a couple days. It didn't matter, I was prepared to wait as long as necessary.

Late that night, I started to get sleepy. I hadn't heard from you, and I figured you were busy with family and friends, so I went to bed. Maybe tomorrow, I thought. But then you sent me a text message. I jumped out of bed so fast!

And there you were, standing at my door. After all that time away, you still wanted to see me. You held onto me so tightly. I wanted you to always hold onto me and never let me go.

Since that night, I've been yours.

I always will be.

Awww!

This is a wonderful love letter. If you get a chance, show this to him. I think he'd like it a lot.

Have a great weekend.

He read it. :)

Then he surprised me with flowers, carefully placed on my car in the parking lot at work. Just out of the blue, in the middle of the day. Lovely flowers with the sweetest note.

After work he took me to dinner at my favorite restaurant, and we each sampled the Mac & Cheese dishes newly added to the menu. (The aforementioned Bacon Mac for me, and Chicken Mac with roasted garlic for him. Yummy!)

We spent the rest of the evening holding each other and talking. He remembers just about every detail from the night he came home! I asked him how he remembers it so well, and he said because that was the night he fell in love with me.

Yeah... I'm living in bliss right now. :)

Oh. My. God!

That is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard.

I think I love him too.
