I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you. − 15 September, 2008

My feelings for Joshua Keith Shartzer rattle my bones.

I have woken up after a two year nap, opening my fragile and weary eyes to a set as blue and unsure as my own. We intertwine our fingers together and walk down a very small road, one I blocked off a very long time ago. We attract attention, I think. I am so utterly focused on those brown curls and scattered freckles and look of distinction that I'm taken aback when another voice is directed toward me.

This..this...there is no adequate word to describe it. This love, passion, raw emotion, best friendship (for lack of anything that comes close) is bigger than anything else on this earth. It is not natural to feel so perfect with someone. It is not an everyday occurrence to be completely thrust into love with your best friend and to have them love you back. This is more than me, this is more than everything. This is the most intense fairy tale love story that has ever been written, and I am a part of it.

I will not run from his warm embrace, his furrowed brow, or his deep conversations ever again. I am diving head first, no holding back, into this breathtaking, swirling romance.

They don't even write stories this amazing anymore.
