My Dearest Brooke,
As I see you spending your life with me, I can do nothing but smile. For years and years I dreamed of having you in my life. Now that I do I cannot help but think that I am selfish. I have a beautiful wife and a love that no amount of money can buy. Men all over the country have taken one glance at you and have dreamed of being your special someone, but I am so grateful that you have chosen me. We share a love that helps keep the innocence and pureness in this crazy world.
I look around the home that you and I built and I feel the memories course throughout my body. The pictures that adorn our walls tell stories of our family and the emotions the memories once held. I see family portraits, photographs of our six children and ourselves, and I cannot help but laugh. They grew up so wonderfully and provided us with countless numbers of lovely grandchildren that are mirror images of the children we once were.
I walk by the old park and I remember the first time I laid eyes on you, my angel. You were sitting on that blue plastic swing as a dark-haired boy pushed you back and forth sending sand flying into the air. I hid behind a tree watching you jealously from afar. You caught my eyes and smiled while I blushed and turned away.
A decade in the future...I can still invision us as teenagers. We were friends now and one step closer to possibly falling in love. My best friend Lucas, he always knew how I felt about you. I could deny everything, but he'd always see right through me. Lucas always could read me better than I could myself. I can still hear him giving me advice our junior year. "You love her man and you never know when your chance will slip away." I didn't understand what he meant in the beginning, but I quickly learned later when I watched your parents take you away.
I sulked that entire summer. You were my first love and my only love. Somehow when you left my world had become a little dimmer and I became a little more broken.
A year later as I stood on the beach I felt two soft hands cover my eyes. You had returned and I had been given a second chance. Three weeks later I had professed my love for you and you'd told me that you felt the same. I was so thrilled to hear what I'd always dreamed of.
Five years after our confessions, we were wed in front of our closest family and friends. Tears were shed and smiles born as we celebrated our union of love...you in a white gown, me in a classic tux.
I continue the stroll through our life and cannot help but wonder if this is real. I feel I am sitting in a theater as time passes me by and I watch my existence pan out on a giant silver screen.
You have given me so many things in life to be thankful for. There are no words to express the love I feel for you. Brooke, you are my friend, my lover, my angel, but among everything my soulmate. You are the one who makes me happy and the reason for me to thank god I'm alive. I love you Brooke Penelope Jagelski.
Forever Yours,
Jake
Please review and I'll forever love you! Lol.
