In Love's
Handwriting: From Leo
Dear Piper,
You're my world, my everything, my one true love. You showed me that heaven does exist on
earth and that love will always prevail.
I noticed your personality before all else. It wasn't that I didn't think you were
beautiful, because I did. It was just
this inherent caring nature that seemed to be imbedded in your words and
actions.
I was always watching you and Phoebe, staging a small
battle for my attention. I wish I could
have settled it then, just walked across the room and pressed my lips to yours
while Phoebe looked on. Sure, I liked
your sister and I've even grown to her love her as part of our family; but she
never had the same effect on me that you did.
It wasn't her hand that brushed against my skin and sent shivers down my
spine. It wasn't her eyes that I stared
into and saw an internal beauty like no other.
The first night we spent together is one I will never
forget. I have never been so nervous
but you didn't seem to notice. Or if
you did, you kept it from me, not wanting to put me under any pressure. It was that night when I realised I loved
you. It wasn't some lustful affair and
I wasn't just in love. I loved
you. My world wasn't complete without
you and my mind constantly worried about hurting you.
You knew I had to leave.
Each time when I would look into your eyes, I knew you could tell. I hated lying to you; I hated keeping my
world a secret. And the pain I felt
when you discovered who I really was and detested the sight of me, was nothing
compared to the agony I knew was running through your veins.
The next year, Piper, I don't know to explain what I
felt. I loved you so much and every
minute I was without you by my side was what I imagined hell to be. Watching you with Dan, holding him, touching
him, kissing him. I wanted to tear you
away from him and scream at you, begging you to remember what we shared. But I couldn't…I loved you too much and had
to let you make up your own mind. It
wouldn't have meant nearly as much if you hadn't admitted your love for me to
yourself first.
We were together finally.
No lies, no secrets…just us. But
still, we had to fight for every moment we had together. IThey/I threatened
to keep us apart and they tried everything in their power. I have always loved you Piper, but the
admiration I felt when you continued to fight for me…I'm still speechless.
What we have runs deeper than just a marriage. We've overcome too much to just be two
people in love. What we've been
through, the battles we've fought and the devastation we've felt. It will last forever Piper. IWe/I will last
forever.
I promise I will never stop loving you. I am yours for this life and the eternity
that follows.
Together as one, forever.
Love, Leo.
