I'm glad you know me, and you know that hi. The hi where I come into the doorway, and rest my cheek against the doorframe and just look at you for a few minutes, contemplating what to say. Contemplating how to put just what I want to say. Figuring out the exact right way to begin.
Having begun, there's no where to go from here but to continue on. Or I could say hi again and you'd know you've really got me flustered.
Hi.
That...that up there...is amazing. You are amazing. You're enough to make me want to come back to Hawaii every year, if it meant spending time with you.
I want to list the little things, the things I adore about you. The little things that only I notice. But there are so many. How you get between me and the road when a car is coming. How you help me with my coat. How you pretend to be reading or watching tv but I really know you're keeping an eye on me on the laptop, making sure nothing upsets me.
I love waking up in your arms. When I open my eyes, the first thing I smell is you. Not just your aftershave but that smell that is you. It's on your clothes, it lingers after you when you leave the room, and it's enough to make me want to bury my nose in your chest and never get out of the warm bed. I hug you tight and you smile in your sleep and I just melt.
I love the little smile lines that light up your face when you burst into a big grin. I love the twinkle in your eye just before you pull your latest little prank. I love it when you just decide to pick me up and spin me or take my hand and twirl me or just envelope me in a big hug that seems like it's our little piece of heaven on earth that is never gonna end.
I don't know how to end. You've made me the sun. I sound like Juliet. How about the sun remains the sun and I remain ever Keri Lynn...a constant changing woman, always trying to improve herself, always trying to do her best, and always wanting the best for you?
I am still now, after several paragraphs, as in awe of this post and of you as I was when I began. Still not knowing quite which words are the correct ones. And therefore, I will leave this as I began it.

Hi.
I don't love Hawaii, I love you.
