(no subject)
so halloween marks my one year anniversary with sam.
the great thing is, i dont particularly enjoy halloween. its not that i dont like it, im just not that into it. so i am perfectly happy to celebrate one year and have an excuse not to partake in any halloween events.
that said. last night we celebrated together because it was sunday and we had less to do and whatever. it was perfect.
i took him out to dinner at his favorite restaurant. then we took a walk to rittenhouse square, which is the park that one year ago today we told each other how we felt. we sat on the same bench and just cuddled for awhile.
there i gave him my present. it was a scrapbook of some sorts. first, i compiled a list of songs that i love that make me think of him or are special to me because of him. i burnt those onto two CDs. then i wrote out the lyrics to all of them, higlighting extra important lyrics, and those were dispersed throughout the book. i also included some excerpts from previous livejournal entries about him that hes never gotten to read. i then commented on some of those and such, explaining a lil more about them or why i wrote them. and there are pictures of us and quotes and stuff and its wicked cute and i was very pleased with it and he really really liked it.
then we were like alright its getting cold so lets head home. i was like hooray cuz i have to pee anyways ( i always ruin the moments!) but on the way he was like hey i need to stop in the music building cuz i forgot something, and you can go to the bathroom in there. so im like ok. so i go to the bathroom, and i come out and hes like alright i tricked you.
and im like tricked me? how? and hes like well just come in here. so he takes me to one of the little practice rooms, closes the door and gives me a piece of paper. and it says:
Our Year Together: A Musical Allegory in Six Parts
I. The Meeting of a Lifetime (Love's Spark)
II. Friendship and Love (Growing Together)
III. February 14...this was our first kiss.
IV. Love that weakens the soul (Silent Unspeakable Moments)
V. Our Time Apart (My Love Grows Stronger Everday)
VI. One Year to the Day (The Best is Yet To Come)
A solo piano piece composed by Sam Dent
Completely inspired by and written for his love, Christine.
"What greater thing is there for two human souls then to feel that they are joined, to strengthen each other, to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable moments" -George Eliot.
so he turns off the lights and sits at the piano and begins to play the most gorgeous twenty minutes of music i have ever heard. he had it all memorized and i just cried the whole time.
i jsut couldnt believe that God had created this beautiful, completely flawless creature and that he was mine. and i get to share and recieve his creativity and love and time and effort.
it was an out of body experience. it was the kind of thing that you only imagine happening to you, not it actually occurring. i am forever grateful.
and im the luckiest girl in the world.
