Dear Grissom,

I got your letter this morning. I was on my way to the kitchen to have breakfast when I saw it on the floor underneath the mail slot. I read it several times to let it permeate my brain. Your letter, it left me…speechless.

Woke up early this morning
Made my coffee like I always do
Then it hit me from nowhere
Everything I feel about me and you
The way you kiss me crazy
Baby you're so amazing

I didn't realize words on a page could affect someone so greatly. The words you wrote made my knees feel so weak that I had to sit down. Your re-telling of old memories made me think about them and others as well. When you wrote about our first kiss, it made think of our first New Year's Eve together. I remember just staring into your eyes during the entire thirty second countdown and then our lips meeting as Ryan Seacrest shouted Happy New Year to the masses at Times Square. I don't even remember them playing "New York, New York" like they always do. The only thing I remember is us kissing our New Year's Eve and New Year's Day away. I remember I was so thankful that we both got New Year's Day off from work.


Seven days and seven nights of thunder
The water's rising and I'm slipping under
I think I fell in love with the 8th world wonder

I know that in general we're not a sappy couple, but I can't help but say that your letter made me discover something that I never thought I would discover. I truly love you. I never thought I would ever fall completely head over heels over someone but I definitely have with you and surprisingly, neither my heart nor my brain have anything bad to say about it.


I guess that I'm just falling
Deeper into something I've never known
But the way that I'm feeling
Makes me realize that it can't be wrong
You're love's like a summer rain
Washing my doubts away

We've been together for over a year now and I guess I've loved you for quite a while, but I would never admit it to myself. Having such a horrible example of love between two people from my parents when I was young, really affected my views towards love. Before you I was very cynical and pessimistic about love, but now I realize that true love is an amazing and wonderful thing that can never go completely wrong. Sure we've had our bumps in the road, but we've always managed to keep it together, and I think that seals the case in my mind that we will always be together and will always love each other.

It's only been a week but
It's coming over me.
It's making me believe that
You're the one for me

You were only gone for a little over a week, but that week was the loneliest of my life. Before you I could stand to be on my own and not rely on anyone, but you have changed me into a person who likes to have someone who will cherish them and I know that I have found that someone in you.

Now, I know you're already back and you said you would be by the time I got your letter (you are asleep in our bed as I write this) but I felt I needed to do more than just tell you my feelings that came from your letter. I needed to tell you in more than one way that I love you.

Love yours forever, Sara
