LOVE LETTER Compiled by V

1. For You, My Love It's the end of the day and I'm thinking about you, as usual. I want you to know how much I sincerely love the times we've spent talking together. It means so much to me. It truly seems like I've known you forever, and I honestly can't imagine life without you. There will be no looking back, no second thoughts, and no regrets. I want you and need only you, and my love will only grow stronger, day after day. Sometimes life hits you with unexpected things that take you totally by surprise. All I can say is, you're the best surprise life has ever given me. Your capacity for loving, caring, and understanding never ceases to amaze me. I've truly been blessed to find you and I'll never let you go, even if I have to personally bring you back here.

2. Just Thinking About You Hey, Honey. I miss you. I'm sitting here thinking about you like I always do. I hope you're missing me too. Sunday is almost here again. The thought of you in my arms right now sounds so good to me. I just want you to know how much I love you. I've missed you every second of my life that we're apart. I knew that I found someone special when I met you. I always think about how sweet you are and how every time my phone rings and I hear your sweet voice on the other end, I smile. I'm happy every moment we're together or when a phone call connects us.

3. Thinking About You At times I can't find the words to say what I mean, so writing it down when I think about it helps me to get my point across. All I know is that you are someone I want to spend time with and have fun with, someone I want to get to know better. I don't know quite what it is about you that is so special, but I hope in some way I make you feel it too. Being in a new relationship is always a little awkward to me at first. I guess I am a little shy and lack self-confidence. Since meeting you, though, I find myself smiling more often. I actually feel more cheerful first thing in the morning, which is a new thing for me. I love to talk with you. You come to the point quickly, but you're funny, too. We don't always agree on things, but that's what keeps it interesting. Anyway, I just felt like letting you know that I am thinking of you

4. Let's Not Be Apart I am thinking about you every second of every day and cannot wait until I see you again. We should never be apart this long again. I miss your kisses and your touch. I miss you so much. I hope that I can see you soon, but until I do, I will keep you in my dreams and in my heart. Remember that I love you, and that I always will. We are lucky because we found each other a second time, and we are able to love each other more than we ever had before. I am waiting to see you again. It's only been a little over a week, but now I know that I cannot be away from you for long. I love you with all my heart.

5. Morning Smiles I was sleeping, yet my hand was searching for you, but you were not next to me. I turned my head and opened my eyes slightly to see you playing with your new computer, and I just smiled. As time went by, that would be so typical of me to do. I didn't know that you saw me sneaking glimpses of you. I turned my head to the other side and fell right back to sleep. Within minutes, I felt you beside me, only the terry cotton of your robe between us. I cuddled right up to you, like a puppy against his mother. I still wake up at times thinking of our first morning together when I smiled and you saw me and read my mind.

6. Praying For You How would I know that you were watching me sleep? I awoke to see you lying there and, just then, you smiled and said, "Hi," and that just melted me. I hope with all my heart that I can wake to your beautiful eyes for the rest of my life. I hated to leave, but as I have told you before, I leave a big part of me with you whenever I go. It is yours now, so take care of it and tread lightly. I wish that I could be with you while you face so many struggles today, but please know that I am there in spirit and am praying for everything to work out for you. No matter where this life takes us, if we're together or not, know that you will always be in my heart and be my only love.

7. The Best Suprise It's the middle of the day and I am thinking about you, as usual. I want you to know how much I sincerely love the countless hours we spend talking. It means so much to me. It truly seems like I've known you forever, and I honestly can't imagine life without you. There will be no looking back, no second thoughts, and no regrets. I love you and only you, and that love will only grow stronger. Sometimes life hits you with unexpected things that take you totally by surprise. All I can say is that you're the best surprise life has ever given me, and your capacity for love, caring, and understanding never ceases to amaze me. I've truly been blessed by finding you and I'll never let you go.

8. The Happiest I've Ever Been Hey, Beautiful! I just wanted to say, "I love you" and put that smile I love so much back on your face. I want everyone to know how much you mean to me. Ever since you entered my life, I've been floating on Cloud Nine and have not come down yet! You are the most beautiful person I know, inside and out, and I see that more clearly with each passing day. I love everything about you and about us. You do something to me that no one else can. You have made me so happy, the happiest I've ever been. You give me the most amazing feelings of being in love with you. I still don't know what I did to be so lucky to have you in my life. Our relationship is a dream come true. I am so thankful I met you. In this short time we've been together we have grown so much, and I can't wait to see what more the future holds in store for us. I love you with all my heart and soul, always and forever!

9. Thought While Apart I know we don't get to talk or to see each other much anymore. But being apart from you for awhile doesn't change the way I feel about you. Sure, I'm lonely, and sometimes I'm overwhelmed. But, just remember that I love you and everything about you. That's what gets me through every long day. Sweetheart, you don't know what I would give to feel your touch once more, to kiss your lips, or even just to see you again. I never loved anyone as much as I love you. You make me feel loved. You make me feel secure. More importantly, you make me feel wanted. We both knew our friendship would grow from the very first day. Neither one of us could begin to imagine the love we would both feel now. You are my soul mate, my best friend, my inspiration, and my true love. Gaining your love has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I know that I love you and always will.

10. Truly Honored to Be Yours I want to thank for having so much faith in me and in us as a couple. Thank you for making me a better person, and for giving your heart to me, and for opening up to me. The last six months have been wonderful. I never expected to feel this way. You are wonderful and my friends think so too, and so does my family. You make me really happy and, even though we are apart so much of the time, I love when we come together. I get butterflies in my stomach at the very thought of seeing you again. You make everything complete, and I can't imagine having these feelings for anyone else. I'm anxious to see you again. Time is ticking, and it's going by really slowly without you. You say that you are going to make me a happy woman. Well, I want you to know that you have already made me happy just by being you, by showing me love, and by being so open with your feelings. You are what I dreamed of when I was a little girl--someone with integrity, honesty, good looks, and a caring personality. I never thought I would find you, but here you are. I love you so much, and can't wait to be with you again. I want to give you my heart and soul. I don't care about anything else in the world because I am only in love with you. Thank you for making all of my dreams come true. I could not ask for anything more. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be called your girlfriend. I'm truly honored. Thank you. I love you.

11.You Are In My Thoughts You are the most intelligent, handsome man I have ever met and I have been so blessed to have you in my life. We have had our share of drama, I know, but you will always mean the world to me. I can't wait until I have the chance to hold you in my arms again. You're the most wonderful man in the world. I know I sometimes frustrate you but I long for nothing else than to keep you happy. You're always in my thoughts and in my heart.

12. I Love You I sit here, lost in the memory of you. What is today? I don't know. What is it I'm supposed to be doing now? I can't remember. It couldn't have been very important. Thoughts of last night still fill my mind and heart. Nothing else seems worth my time and effort. Where am I? Well, not here in this confined space, not really. I'm still lost in everything I felt when we were together. That was when you and I became "us" and I could no longer tell where you left off and I began. I love you, Lisa, and my love is lasting and true. I'm not sure when it began but I know it will never end. Surely, life can offer no higher fulfillment than what we experienced last night. There can be no other woman in my life now but you. I've been involved in other relationships in the past, but they certainly can't compare to what I have found with you or to what I'm feeling now. Perhaps the others were just "dry runs," practice for the real thing, for a reality that I couldn't even imagine until I had experienced it for myself. Last night, I couldn't help but surrender to the feelings that had captured my soul and yet promised me freedom and joy. Today, the words of an old John Denver song come to mind, and it is only now that I understand what the "sweet surrender" he sang about really means. You must know I can't stand being away from you much longer. I hope you feel the same way. Lisa, tell me when can I see you again! I love you

13. You're Everything To Me I hope you know how much our relationship has come to mean to me. Getting to know you over these last few months has changed my life. I'm happier than I have ever been, and I owe that joy to you. Before I met you, there was an emptiness in my heart that at times seemed to consume me, that threatened to break me--but now my life is full of meaning and purpose. I can see my future more clearly now--you are the light in the dark that guides my steps to where I want to be. When the entire world was once overcast by subtle shades of gray, when I seemed caught in a perpetual winter, you brought vibrant color to my life, and in my heart I felt the renewal, the warmth and sunlight of spring again. I adore your kind smile and your gentle eyes. You have so much good in you--you treat me so well. I love your quiet strength, and your desire to do right. You have such a love for others, and your example makes me want to be the best that I can be. You can always make me laugh, even when I don't always want to. When I look into your eyes--those gorgeous azure eyes--I see a reflection of my own soul. And in your arms, I know there is no place on earth that I would rather be. In quiet moments, I wonder what I ever did to be blessed to have you in my life. You remind me of what is truly important in this life, and I'll always be grateful to Fate for bringing us together. I can't remember what my life was about before you became a part of it. You're always on my mind--in my thoughts, and in my dreams. I love you so much and I hope you know that I will always be here for you. I am yours now and forever, body and soul. Like the ebb and flow of the ocean waves, my love for you goes on forever and forever; like the great redwoods that reach toward the sky, my love for you grows and grows--higher, stronger, deeper. I can't imagine my life without you anymore. I've never loved anyone as I have loved you--I know now I never will. You're everything to me.

14. I Can't Wait To See You Again You have been constantly on my mind since our last date. I'm more convinced than ever of my feelings for you. I love you, Jane. I only want you in my life, and no longer want to see anyone else. I've never felt like I do now. I can't compare the depth of my emotions to anything I've ever experienced before. I feel like I'm finally breathing fresh air! I can't wait to see you again! The weekend seems so far away!

15. When Can I See You Again? I don't know how I made it home last night. Did I drive, walk, fly? I hazily recall walking through my front door and collapsing on my bed. Then I spent many sweet and sleepless hours vividly thinking of you--each detail of your face, your voice, your touch. You swept me off my feet (literally!) and my heart has never beaten so fast. I cannot find the words to describe my feelings. How can I express the ways you're changing my life? Simply saying, "I love you" seems so inadequate. My affection is so much greater than those three little words. Forgive me for not being more eloquent; just try to sense in those deceptively simple words the profound depth of feeling within me. I love you, Jane. I cannot say it any better. No one in my life compares with you. No one ever could. I don't need to search further; there is no one else I'd rather spend my life with. All my past relationships pale in comparison to my life with you in vivid, vibrant colors. This morning, I heard Nat King Cole on the radio singing, "The Very Thought of You." He was singing just what I want to say to you. The mere idea of you, the longing here for you... You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you... When can I see you again? I want to do something special for you. Name the day, and I'll plan a night for us both to remember.

16. I Only Want To Be With You Like the song says, last night was "Just Like Heaven." I'm sitting here at work, thinking of you, and I can't even find the words that will express the way I'm feeling. I can tell you this, though--after last night, I am 100% positive that I'm in love with you. I love everything about you... I love your blue eyes, your thick hair, and your smile. I love the sound of your laugh and of your voice, and the warmth of your body when you hold me. I love the smell of your cologne and the taste of your lips. I love how, when you touch me, tingles race up and down my spine. You arouse all of my senses. I don't want to be with anyone else; I only want to be with you. I've never felt this way about anyone before. I feel like I'm floating, like my heart is skipping, like my mouth will never stop smiling. I love talking to you; I feel like I could tell you anything. I love the way that you respect my opinions, even when they differ from your own. I love the way that I feel special whenever you're around. It feels like there's no one else in the room. I love how you look into my eyes and I feel like I can see into the depths of your soul. I love the man that you are, and I cannot wait to see you again.

17. The Only One For You I wish I could really express the happiness I have found in spending time with you over the last few weeks. Getting to know you has brought a dimension to my life that it just never had before. Every time we are together, the world looks a little better and the sun shines a little brighter. I'm not exaggerating when I say that you're the kindest, most animated, and most amazing person I have ever met. The more I learn about you, the more I want to know. You're incredible! You have, in a way, changed the way I see the world. I am a better person, and I want to be an even better person, just because I have known you. I'm so glad that your love for humanity matches my own. I was serious about joining the Peace Corps, if you really want to go! It's not just our desire to serve others, though. I love that you enjoy playing sports and spending time in the great outdoors as much as I do. I can't wait to do some hiking and backpacking together this summer. When are we going to take that trip down the Colorado that you talked about? I still can't believe you've already gone down it ten times, and yet you say that it's a new adventure each time. Well, that's how I feel every time that we go out together. Every day that I'm with you is full of bright hope and offers a new adventure. I can't wait to see you again. I hope you know how much you're starting to mean to me. The other girls I've dated in the past just fade in comparison. You're quickly becoming the only one for me. I hope that I will soon be the only one for you.

18. I Am Falling For You Ever since our first date, I've noticed changes in my world. Work at the office seems easier, and I'm getting more accomplished in less time. My boss has noticed the changes, too, and has been very complimentary of late. I continue to be pleasantly surprised as I discover more about you, yet there is still so much that I'd like to know. I get excited at the thought of spending more time with you because our time together will help me to learn more about you. Already, I'm learning that we have so much in common. I enjoy our differences, but I'm happy that we share so many similar opinions and experiences. Whatever differences exist can only broaden our horizons and our outlook on life. I've lost interest in seeing anyone else, Katie, because I'm falling in love with you! P.S. I hope we can get together Friday evening. I'll call you

19. I Am Falling In Love With You Ever since I met you my life hasn't been the same. Knowing you is really bringing out the best in me and helping me to see the world through a rich, new lens. Although we have a lot in common, our differences are also important because they broaden our ranges of interest. Before I met you, I didn't think that classical music was something I could enjoy, but you showed me that I could and that has added a new dimension to my life. I've actually bought Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks" on CD to play in my car! I hope you are enjoying my "Credence Clearwater Revival Greatest Hits" CD as well! My boss has noticed the change in me, too. He tells me that I'm more energetic and that my work is more creative. I'm falling in love with you. Dating other girls seems useless now because I have found what I want. My day isn't complete anymore unless I've seen you or at least talked to you on the phone. Could we go out on Friday night and carry this relationship a step further? I think dinner and a movie would be a good place to start, don't you? I'll call you tomorrow and we'll work out the details. I miss you already.

20. I Am Happy I've noticed something recently--I'm happy. My attitude at work has improved. My attitude about life has improved. I smile most of the time and sometimes I find myself humming as I walk down the street. Other people have noticed it too and asked me what's different now and what has made me so much happier. The answer? I can trace the change back to the time when I first met you. I love spending time with you. The more I learn about you, the more I want to be with you. You make me want to try new things. Who would ever have thought that I would try rock climbing? I'm usually afraid of heights and afraid of falling, and yet there I was, halfway up the side of a mountain and enjoying it. I hardly felt scared at all! We're so different and yet we're so alike. You're an extrovert and I'm more of an introvert. You love doing adventurous outdoor activities, and I tend to be afraid of doing anything out of the ordinary. Our political differences may lead to some heated discussions, but we also complement each other in so many other ways. We have the same quirky sense of humor and the same desire to learn new things. And we respect each other's opinions, whether we agree with them or not. I think I could talk to you nonstop for a week and not run out of things to say! I think I'm falling in love with you. I don't have any desire to be with anyone else; I just want to be with you. I hope that we can continue down this path and see where it leads. I can't wait until our next date.

21. Please Forgive Me I am sorry. I don't want you to think that I'm saying those words lightly. I really mean them. I am so sorry. I know that what I did was wrong and I know that it hurt you deeply. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I do know that I never wanted to hurt you. I wish I could take it back, but I can't. All I can do is try to show you how much I regret what I've done and ask for your forgiveness. I love you. We have certainly had our share of problems in the past, but we've always been able to work through them. I think we're actually stronger because of them. I hope that this situation is no different. I will do whatever it takes for you to trust me again, so that we can go back to the way things were. We've had too many good times together to break up over this. I take full responsibility for my mistake, so please don't give up on me now. Remember the good times like when we went parasailing in Florida or when we bought our dog. Remember how happy we were? I know it can be that way again. Please forgive me. I want to see you this weekend. I want to start making it up to you. How about if I make dinner at my place and we rent a good movie? We can cuddle up on the couch under a big blanket and just enjoy being together. Think about it, and I'll call you tonight.

22. I Am Sorry This is hard for me to do because I am not good at saying I am sorry. We were having a lot of fun, and I know that I care for you very much, and I want to go on seeing you and being with you. Now I feel like I just want to start over and forget all of those angry words we both said. Maybe this is just one of those lovers' quarrels that we hear about. We both said hurtful things. I did not like when you said that I am trying to control you. I was only trying to help you make up your mind about our relationship. I really love you and want to be with you. If you feel the same way, let us make up and try to put this behind us. I will call you unless I receive an email saying that you don't want to hear from me. I hope you do want to get together and make up. Love and kisses.

23. Give Me The Chance I'm writing to you because you hung up on me the last time I called you. I'm not sure what I've done to upset you, but whatever it was, I'm sorry. From what other people have told me, I know I can be outspoken and sound offensive at times. I think part of the problem is that you and I were brought up in different cultures and at opposite ends of the country. What people from my corner of the world regard as honest and straightforward can be considered rude and abrasive here. It might help, though, if you would consider my intentions. I wouldn't deliberately do anything to hurt you because I'm falling in love with you. I knew that was true when I felt so wounded when you wouldn't talk to me. So please don't take offense where there was no offense intended. Although my intentions are good, it looks like I need someone with finer sensibilities to point out my blunders and teach me how to behave here. If you would be willing to take on this great challenge, we might have to spend long evenings together for me to really get the picture. Would you mind? I think that kind of arrangement would have a lot of benefits, and we could start going out together again, too. For openers, I've gotten prime tickets for "The Phantom of the Opera" in two weeks, and you know they're not easy to get. We need to make up before then so we can go see it together and find out why it's still so popular. We hit it off so well when we first went out a month ago, I know we can get over this bump in the road. I'll stop by tomorrow evening around 7 p.m. to see if we can talk about it face-to-face. Afterward, if you would just let me put my arms around you, I know I can make you feel better. Just give me the chance.

24. Tell Me What I Did Wrong How are things going? I haven't seen much of you lately. I'm not sure, but it seems like you're upset with me. You're not exactly out-and-out avoiding me, but every time I suggest doing something these days, you have some reason not to. And you haven't called for a few days. You could just be really busy, I guess, or maybe you have a lot on your mind with work or something else? If I've done something to offend you or hurt you, I'm sorry--really. Jan told me yesterday that you had mentioned to her I had a phone conversation with Dave the other day. I don't know if my talking to him might have upset you, but I hope not. I know we haven't known each other for very long, but ever since Jan introduced us, I've thoroughly enjoyed spending time together and getting to know you. The last month and a half has been a lot of fun because I never know what to expect when I'm with you. You have a real love for life, and I truly admire your optimism and your positive attitude. You're such a good person, so your friendship means a great deal to me. Please know that I would never do anything to intentionally cause you pain. Could we get together and talk? I'd really like to know what's on your mind these days. Maybe we could go for a walk along the beach on Saturday (I can pack a picnic lunch), or we could go to Taquito's Friday night (my treat) and maybe catch a movie afterwards. I know how you love Mexican food. What do you say? I'll call on Thursday to see how things are going and see if we can get together one of those days. Take care.

25. Please Think About It I can tell that you're upset with me. You haven't called me in three days, and when I've tried to call you, you've had little to say and want to hang up quickly. I've thought about it and I can't figure out what I did to turn you against me. Did I do or say something wrong at the party last weekend? That's the last time I saw you. When we said goodbye, you didn't seem upset, but maybe I was just too tired to notice. If I did do something, I'm really sorry. I can honestly say that I didn't mean to hurt you or offend you in any way. I love you. I hate it when you're unhappy with me. Could we please meet so you can tell me if I did something that bothered you? If it's not me and something else is bothering you that you haven't told me about, maybe we could have dinner and talk. I want to get everything out in the open and come to some kind of an understanding. If you're interested, we could go to a hockey game afterwards and just have some fun. Please think about it.
