Sappy, 'Cause That's How I Am
There are a lot of people on my friends list who are in very happy relationships, and this makes me smile a whole bunch. I think love is a Very Important Thing without which all the colors are muted and dull and there are no sparkles. That sounds glib until you think about the fact that I have the word love tattooed on my foot, and it's there not just because I think it's pretty, but for an actual describable reason relating to a part of my life that was grossly lacking in love.
I mention this because I want to say again, for the record, that I have the best boyfriend in the whole entire world, bar none, no offense to the beautiful happy couples on my friends list. We both say "I love you" to each other about ten thousand times a day, and we both hear it as profound pretty much every single time, but this morning when I kissed him goodbye as he left for work, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for how truly loving and generous he is. I tried to tell him just like I'm trying to tell you, but there really aren't words that can describe the gloriousness I'm looking to convey.
