Because You Love Me...



When I was a little girl I played house with my dolls in a perfect world. The daddy loved the mommy and they had two children, a boy and a girl, who were perfect children and did no wrong. They lived in a beautiful doll house that was immaculately furnished and had no flaws. I even dreamed of their perfect jobs which generated more than enough income to sustain their way of living and vacationing in my dreams. As I grew older, I read all the teen-age love stories, where boy meets girl...girl meets boy...he gives her his letterman jacket, she wears his ring. They go on dates where he treats her like a queen. Everything is perfect in their world. These dreams shaped my view on dating and relationships and I, deep down inside, thought that was the way life should be between a man and a woman...perfect. That is until I starting dating of my own and quickly found out that life and relationships were far from perfect. It can be good...comfortable even...but far from perfect. Do I regret having these girlish fantasies? No, I'm glad I had them...because they prepared me for you. Because, you have been the closest thing to perfection that has entered my life. I love the me that I am because I have you to love. I love the way that you love me with all of your heart. I love the way we compliment each other in every way. Are we perfect? No, however, I think, we're pretty damn close...



Signed,

Imperfectly Perfect at Loving You...
