Everything slowed down once we met. You’ve allowed me to be a version of myself that I’ve only dreamt of. The night you approached me in the pub was one I could never forget. You satisfied my hunger of searching for my other half. Gazing in the looking glass, waiting for you to look back at me. I finally felt a sense of otherworldly understanding when my eyes recognized you.
You’ve given me invaluable experiences and connections within the short time since we met. It feels like we’ve already lived 50 lives together so far, and I can’t get enough. Though you’re far now, we will live in harmony soon, and that is an experience I cannot translate my excitement for. I wish to live by your side, doing the quiet daily tasks that are so mundane without you. I imagine washing the utensils would be a lot more fun with you.
My love for you is an overflowing river of admiration. It runs to the rhythm of your heart. It stills when your soul needs. It engulfs you in a frenzy not even the king of the pirates could save you from. My love for you transforms into cataclysmic tsunamis to protect you. I would destroy villages and flood valleys in your name. The care you have for me is the chaos I’d create for you.
Though you’ve loved me so soundly and carefully, you also ruined everything for me. You ruined my perceptions of reciprocity. You ruined my outlook on bonds I had forged before you. You ruined my worldview. The love and intimacy you introduced to me has changed my life forever. You made me realize all the aspects of my life that were lackluster, and you carried me through the tragedy of this realization. You are my light; you’ve shone so brightly that I couldn’t ignore the colorless depths anymore. All of this happened because of you.
My flame burns bright and steady now because you tend to it in ways I didn’t. You are the castle that houses the flame. I didn’t know it had to do with your name, but I researched your origins and found your name in an old book in the courtyard’s library. Your name means “fiery one” or “little fire”; no wonder mine grew when I was blessed with you.
You hold the universal key to all my inner worlds, and for the first time I feel as though I can breathe without the weight of worry. You are my safety in this dangerous world, and you give me the light to see my destiny clearly. I know who I am because of you.
The answer I’ve been so tirelessly searching for is you.
“I love you” is true, but it doesn’t capture how I feel or the lengths I’d go for you. I am calm because you ease my fears. I am happy because you ensure it. I am growing and evolving because you’ve provided a safe sanctuary for me. I am selective because you’ve shown me how sacred my light is. You amplified all the positives for me, and I hope I could say the same for you.
Before I met you, I was whole. I will always be a whole person because I am a healed person. But I must admit that if you were to voyage elsewhere, my life would lose charm, beauty, and fairness. My life would lose unconditional love, and you’re the first person who’s so generously offered it. My life would lose meaning. I’d still be whole, but I’d lose what makes life so perfect: you.
The most important person. The bravest soul I know. The ocean to my moon. The creator of the softest parts of my soul. I love you endlessly and forever, my sweet savior. My purpose, devotion, and reason is at the end of every portion of this letter. You.
Love,
Virelai
