Love Letter

Who would have thought?
A year ago I could never have imagined that today this is where I'd be.
With her. My love.
The oldest and biggest love of my existence.
This time last year I hadn't even found her.
This time last year I was pining away for a love I imagined might be possible.
She had captivated my heart. My mind and surely my soul.
And she didn't even know it.
For 5 weeks I dreamt up our life together
I did not realise the wonders reality would reach.
I thought she was spectacular in my dreams.
Oh man but my dreams had nothing on reality.
I had this memory of her.
Of her chocolate skin. Long dreadlocks. Dainty features.
And her eyes…her eyes that contained the beauty of the world. The whole world. My whole world.
I dreamed she would love me. Purely and deeply. Selflessly and whole-heartedly.
I dreamed she would make me smile from the depths of my soul.
I was right
But I underestimated her impact and the sheer size of her love.
In reality I sit and watch her speak on the phone.
With her chocolate skin, dreadlocks and dainty features.
And those eyes.
And I think wow she's here. In my life. Full access. All the time.
In reality she has shown me love in ways I didn't know it could be displayed.
She has loved me far
She has loved me deep
She has loved me wide
She has loved me whole
And I have loved her
In all the ways I know how and all the ways I have discovered.

My baby, more than a dream come true because my dreaming underestimated you.
