it's funny how i don't remember all the things that i put into those letters, but i remember exactly how i was feeling when i wrote them. this worries me. ha!
it worries me because i am a hard-core emotional person. i used to believe in romance movies and love songs more than the earth that pushed up from underneath me. i imagined a world that only involved being swept off my feet, having a big fight/moment of truth that ultimately resulted in the best kiss of my life while soaked in the rain. i never could decide on the ending, though. but it was definitely more than dramatic.
luckily, i haven't strayed too much from this imagination. i still daydream all of the time about conversations i'll probably never have and scenes of passionate embraces. haha.
even more luckily, though, i have a real life. with real characters and real consequences. and lord am i glad that i never ended up with those kids who found themselves embarrassed and red-faced reading my sappy attempt at romance.
right now i'm where i'm supposed to be. sitting here, with my cats, my own messes to clean up, listening to music, and watching James grimace while he plays World Of Warcraft. I love him.
Actually, this gives me an idea to write up up a letter to my current crush. (All bad.)

And no, you're not the only one with those fantasies. <3
I think at some point in our lives, we've all done the same thing Bon. As married as I am to my spouse, I still will sit down and write him a sappy love letter every now & then. :) He doesn't see the value in it at the time he receives his letter. It's not until he's cleaning out his "junk" drawer and all of a sudden he will come up behind me and give me the biggest hug & tell me that he loves me. Of course I will have forgotten all about the letter, but he reminds me. It's an awesome kind of way to renew feelings of love. Especially, after having been married for a long period of time :0)
