Hello everyone, this is just an idea I've had in my mind for the last few days, so I decided to take the plunge and write it,
My dearest Emily:
Love is a complicated thing is it not? It can hurt like hell but it can also feel like heaven. I think we are all subconsciously looking for love, even if we don't admit to ourselves. Like my mom said once, the people who makes us happy are never the ones you expect, so when you find someone you've got to cherish it. I never planned to fall in love; I didn't even believe love existed. I mean living happily ever after, or the "I would die for you", type of love? Please. I thought everyone who believed in love was a fool, so I guess I'm also a fool, a fool in love. From the first moment I saw your beautiful brown eyes, so mysterious, so intriguing, and so intense, I knew I was a goner. And then I heard your voice, and I knew I was converted, and love wasn't ludicrous. I am aware we had a rough start. It scares me to think we were almost not given a chance. But I'm glad we did, because you are the best thing that ever happened to me.
But now my time has come, and the day we have dreaded and avoided the most is now here. My heart aches and my eyes can no longer shed any tears. I had never planned to fall in love like I did. I never imagined any of this. Nevertheless it happened and this is something I'm grateful for, no matter how much it hurts right now. I never expected the adventure of my life with this trip. Imagine my surprise when I found the love of my life, which happened to be the adventure of my life. Because that is what you are, and always will be, the love of my life. My heart has your name inscribed on it. I'm not used to falling in love, or dating for that matter. But you make me a better person, you make me happier. I know our time apart is going to be hard, but it is going to be harder to forget all that happened between us. The last twelve months were very eventful. They were full of rough events, but also filled with wonderful events. But they all had something in common, you were in them.
I will miss you so much; our memories are going to be the only thing that will keep me functioning. Our first kiss, our crappy first date, or the day we met. There are so many things we did, and I'm just glad you were the person I shared them with. I've learned do many things, about life, love and myself, and it is you that I must thank.
I understand why you decided not to go with me to the airport, it hurts too much. I honestly think I would've stayed if you were there. But as much as I hate it, I have to leave; my year here is already gone, faster than I expected. I'm sure that when you read this, I'm in the air already. But know something, this is not goodbye. We might not be together but this is a see you later. I love you and no distance is between us is changing it. I love so much, and I know being away is going to hurt, but it will get better, I promise. Be strong and brave, just like you once told me to be, and never forget that I love you, forever and ever, in this life or any other,
Always yours,
Naomi
