i love you day

today is a special day ...
so no tears, no worries, no stress, no being sad, no getting mad over exes....

there will be nothing that i will allow in my life today to take away from the specialness of this very important day.

it is "i love you" day.

one year ago today is the day that my sweet boyfriend and i finally got around to saying "i love you" to each other for the very first time.

it is kind of sweet how it happened the very first time.
we were both waiting for the other person to say it first because neither one of us wanted to be out there all alone with those words just hanging, even though we both knew that was how we felt, there was still a little fear ... will he say it too? will she say it back? will he mean it the way i do? will she mean it the way i want her to?

i was in serious crush with the boy. i crushed on him morning, noon and night. still do, actually. i'm still crazy over the moon in love with him.

actually i'm more in love with him now because i know the person he is a whole lot better than when those 3 little words escaped from my lips for the very first time.

i know what he wants now, what he wants tomorrow, what he wants when he's 90.
i know who he has been. i know what his dreams are at night and i know who he dreams of.

he told me a year ago today "funny thing, love, little beast snuck up on me."
and i asked him "but do you like it"
his response "very much so"

and a year later here we are, very much so in love on i love you day.

i want to be with him today.

to really be with him in the flesh, to hold him and kiss him and tell him "i love you" so i can look in his eyes and see it. but it can't be that way today.

so i will wait the required 9 more days until i can take flight and land somewhere in a southeastern state in a little airport, where at the end of a concourse he will be waiting with a smile on his face, open arms, and a pocketful of candy for his midwest girl.
