Juliet,
I know you didn't expect any of this and I'm not even sure what I'm doing here, writing you a letter, while you are sleeping in the room next door.
It's so untypical for me and one could argue it's not my style at all, but I woke up a few minutes ago with the urge to write you this letter. It's not just because today is a special day, it's because I mean everything I ever said to you, everything I haven't said yet and all the things I couldn't say; because I couldn't find words strong enough for how I feel.
I love you, Juliet, and being with you is the best thing that ever happened to me. Ever since I meet you, my life feels complete and it's like the things I was looking for all my life (without even knowing I was) finally fell into place. I am the luckiest man on earth and waking up next to you is the best feeling ever. I love you with all my heart and every second we can't be together feels like a lost moment. It hurts to not be with you and when I am not all I can thing of is you.
You made my life complete and you are making it perfect every single day. You might not know it (and if you don't then it's completely my fault, because I haven't found the right words to tell you), but you saved me. I wouldn't have done it without you. Imagining how it would've been if you'd left last year, is painful, and I'm sure I wouldn't be here if you did.
I owe you my life, Juliet, and I've no idea how to make it up to you. I want to bring you flowers every day, I want to tell you I love you all the time, but I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me (and to be honest, I wouldn't believe me either if I were you).
Today's Valentine's Day. It was never something I did, but they say it's a special day, to show the ones you love what they mean to you. I wish I could tell you in person, but I'm afraid I wouldn't find the right words if I have to say them out loud. Besides, you looked so peaceful and I didn't want to wake you. I have to leave for work now. I don't want to go, but I have to. But be sure, that you are all I'll thinking of all day and I can't wait to come home tonight to kiss you, to hold you. To just be with you ...
Valentine's Day isn't just something the flower shops and chocolate factories invented, but something worth living for - if you have someone you loved you by your side.
I have you, Juliet, and I will never let you go. And that's not a threat, but a promise.
You're stuck with me, Blondie. Get used to it.
