This is possibly Part 1 of 2. I'm not sure right now. It
can stand on it's own though.
In Love's Handwriting

Dear Leo,
When we first met, my heart skipped a beat and pounded against my
chest. I watched you talking to us all,
listening to your words whilst taking in everything about you. You stood tall and strong, so passionate
about your work and restoring the manor.
I can't remember anymore about what exactly it was that attracted me to
you.
It could have been your beautiful excitable eyes or your childish
smile. It could have been your perfect
physique or your gentle touch of friendship.
It could have been your words, the slight tinge of the English language,
that patriarchal politeness and respect which has long since been forgotten.
It doesn't matter any more.
Because we fell in love. That
was the most important part on our long relationship road. That point, where we both felt our mind,
body and soul spinning into infinity joined together by some spherical
force.
You gave me life Leo. That night
you took me in your arms and made love with me. You taught me to feel again.
That I didn't have to shut out the world and become a recluse in my own
loveless mind. It was in that instance
that I fell to new depths, I'd never loved as I then loved you.
But I didn't tell you did I? I
didn't want to admit to anyone that you were my world. That I couldn't possibly live without
you. And I was right. You had to leave. I have never held so much inside as I did that day you left. I could read your expression; you were
hurting because I was so cold. But I
just couldn't let the tears fall. They
wouldn't have stopped. I had to be
strong; I couldn't let myself hurt again.
The following weeks were nothing short of agonising. But I hid it all, I tried moving on, I tried
dating other men. But I couldn't do
it. I loved you Leo. I never stopped loving you.
Then you appeared in our attic.
Hurt, weak, vulnerable…and supernatural. I thought you'd lied to me.
I thought you were like all the rest and wanted to hurt me. But still, I loved you. I just had to speak those words; I had to
admit to myself and to the world that I couldn't live without you. I was so petrified of losing you. And I almost did. Thank you for understanding why it took me so long. It made me fall further in love with you,
when you took me in your arms and wiped away my tears.
How can I express the next two years?
We gave new meaning to 'riding the roller coaster of love'.
Through greater divine forces that threatened to destroy our love and
keep us apart forever…we triumphed.
Through my bitter struggle with love, where I fought every feeling I had
for you…we triumphed. Through near death
experiences and terrifying attacks…we triumphed. Through a wedding from hell…we triumphed.
It was you and I Leo. We didn't
have help from Cupid or an easy road.
It was just us.
With every clichéd beat of my heart, I love you Leo Wyatt.
Together, we have created heaven.
Loving you forever,
Your wife,
Piper.
