Today I received a surprising letter from my partner. We have been through some rough times and…well, to make a long story short we are no longer living together. Obviously, we are still madly in love with each other and we talk all the time through texting, instant messaging, and phone calls. Face to face interaction is limited for the time being, with her working nights and my busy schedule. Our conversations end up on the topic of us being friends…where we decide no (every time) and then try to make something work. Really, she is my best friend and the love of my life. I feel like personally we can overcome the obstacles we face as long as we’re together. It’s like when we hold hands we join forces and no one can break down our wall. (you know like Batman and Robin….except prettier with more poetry) We just need to open up better, communication is key….knowing what to say, as well as, what not to say.
So back to this letter I received, she texted me and told me I had a letter in her car for me to pick up but, after I read it I would have to wait 30 minutes to think about it before I called her. So I, being the some what pessimistic type, immediately thought, “Oh, my god…this is the we should just be friends letter.” Much to my surprise, I was WAY off base on that assumption. As I read the letter my heart filled with joy, simultaneous to the tears that filled my eyes. I could feel my chest filling up with love, excitement, joy, happiness….if you have another happy word, it will fit in this sentence. She not only listed all of the things she loves about me, well a lot of them, she told me that has to be enough. She asked for a fresh start….you know, let go of the past and move towards the future kind of fresh start. Then at the bottom she wrote, “Will you go on a date with me? Text Yes or No.” A historic romance with a modern touch….I’ll take it!
So, needless to say, I am sitting here with butterflies in my stomach….freaking out about what to wear….and feeling fantabulous about my life.
My lesson: Love can be enough, if you let it.
