Straight from the bottom of my heart...
This is for my girlfriend, Julie. This isn't a poem or some song lyric, this is from my heart.
I've known you for about 4 years now, and I feel so close to you. You make me smile without even trying. Whenever I think about you, or your beautiful smile, my soul stirs. My heart fills with light and happiness, and a smile creeps onto my face. My love for you is overwhelming, even for me, and sometimes it scares me. But just knowing that you're a part of my life and that I have you to go to whenever I need some kind of cheering-up, that helps me get past my fear. After the fiasco that was my first love, I was afraid to love again. I didn't want to feel that pain again, because it would surely kill my heart. But I'm not afraid anymore. I'm not afraid to love you, because I know that you'll never hurt me. You're too much of a beautiful and caring person to do something like that to me. Some nights, I find myself crying out of happiness, because just thinking of you brings out these strong emotions that I can't explain. You have truly touched my heart in ways that I didn't believe were possible, and you have made me a better person in the short time that I have known you. For a while, I never believed that I could love someone more than I loved my first love, but at one point, I realized that my love for you had surpassed the love I had for her. I wasn't certain at first, but looking deep into myself, I know that this is true. Some people might question my feelings for you, but I don't care. I know how I feel about you, and no one can change that. What I'm saying may seem a little extreme, but I don't see it that way. This is what I feel in my heart, and I see nothing wrong with expressing my feelings. Julie, I just want you to know that I love you more than anything. You're the girl of my dreams. Thank you for being a part of my life. I love you.
