You’re not like anyone I’ve ever met. You’re certainly not the embodiment of my what imagination conjured up. But then again, rarely have my imagination and reality ever aligned. To be honest, you’re better than what I imagined. You’re stronger, and your heart is far deeper and greater than what I could’ve imagined in a person I fell in love with. My whole life, I’ve been generous and never did I imagine meeting someone that rivals my generosity. You are good, so good. And you are kind. There is a piece of you I wish I could copy in myself, a part of you I wish I could imitate in my own qualities. You are selfless and generous and it is those attributes that made me first take notice of you. I remember when I rounded a corner and I saw your truck full of tools in a town two hours away with a canister of dog food sitting on the tailgate… that’s when I knew something was stirring in my heart–that’s when I knew you were different, and when I knew I wanted to know you more.

From that moment, you began to slowly invade my thoughts. It was on that day I started praying for you differently and started praying about whatever this could be between us. It has been slow for you, but not for me. Very quickly, my heart leapt at the thought of you or when you flashed across my phone. I remember the day I walked into Cannery Ballroom and saw you behind a red keyboard. You didn’t notice me that day, but my heart’s reaction to seeing you is when I knew realized what was happening for me. I spent weeks trying to find excuses to talk to you or to see you. I spent countless nights laying awake thinking about you and countless days at the office redirecting my daydreaming mind. You are beautiful, inside and out, sexy and strong. That heart of yours captured my attention and every piece of you has quickly followed–your hands, your eyes, your lips. The longing I have and the desire I have to spend time in your presence is overwhelming and you have no idea what I’d give to feel that in return.

But for now, this letter will stay tucked away and I will wait patiently and quietly for you to realize what’s in front of you.
