Dear Every Breath All Entries Page 15

Love at first sight was nothing I'd ever believed in, for how could one just know upon meeting another that they were meeting the one and only someone who'd hold their heart forever? Before I met you, an incredible love story was just a fairy tale; one that only lived and breathed between the pages of a good book. When I first saw you, your good looks would have caught any girls eye, but it was your heart and soul I immediately noticed and fell for. In less than a week I knew you were the one and here we are 5 years later and still madly in love. We are truly blessed sweetie. Happy Anniversary

I know my choice was difficult then and unbearable now. I have reached a low in my life that is dark and uncertain. I know that even though you will not come back, you were, are, and forever will be, the love of my life. ~J

I am nervously making numerous changes in my life that make me second guess myself; is this what I want? Am I on the right path? I’ve learned and grown from a traumatic childhood. I lost my mother at a young age and today I try to hear her input on the many opportunities I’ve come across in life ever since her passing. I’m now a mother of a young boy and found a way to put myself through school while maintaining a full time job. His father and I are parted. A part of me feels accomplished and another part feels lost. I’m newly engaged now and something still feels unfulfilled.

The Kindred Spirit mailbox is of great meaning to my wife and I, as five years ago it played a major role in my proposal. It was my then-girlfriend’s first time at Sunset Beach. I hid a map in a bottle in the back of the mailbox and convinced her the island tradition was to bury treasure for the next person to find. We went in search according to the map and happened upon a suspicious flag, so I began to dig. After a few minutes we discovered a small wooden treasure chest, but unfortunately it was empty. On the walk back to the house, I got on one knee and said, “I already had my treasure.”

Meeting you last year in Akureyri was not expected. We’ve stayed in touch long distance for over a year now. You’ve shared your life with me - the ups and downs and I’ve done the same. When we reunited recently in Reykjavik it was like we were old friends and something more too. I don’t know where it’s going and I’ve never been lucky in love. But I’m willing to see where this goes. I think Iceland and America seem far apart but maybe they are closer emotionally than we realize. Like this novel says - it’s day by day. Thanks for coming into my life - American girl xoxo

I pray that one day you understand how much I love you. I want for you to love yourself and see yourself through my eyes. I know I made many mistakes and wish I could go back and do so many things differently. I know life has never made sense for you and has always been hard. Things a child should never go through, you persevered. I tried to love the nightmares away and be everything you needed to heal, but found how unrealistic that is. As this year comes to a close, I just want you to know that your happiness and health mean a lot to me. I wish you the very best in the future. I love you.

The love of my life was a person of who I never thought would be. I met him while I was in a previous relationship. But the unexpected is the most glorious of things. I love my soon to be husband so much. He is my everything and i couldn't picture my life without him in it. I love you baby.

You really are my "Dear John". I have spent so many tears telling God the way I think it should have gone. But in the end it was your choice to break my heart. It's still your choice to not reach out. I miss you with every ounce of my being. There are so many moments every day that make me think of you... a song, a joke, a movie etc and that ache comes back. But I also get stronger... a little bit more every day. One day I will stop looking for your face every where I go. I don't know if that thought comforts me... or makes me hurt even more. ~ Brownie

I am forever very thankful, though it took a so many obstacles to get to you I wouldn't undo it for the world. Through the course of toxic relationships, and cheating boyfriends we found each other. And look at us now, madly in love and every day a new adventure. You are my best friend forever. Though my insecurities plague me at times, my love for you nor your love for me ever waivers and that's what i have been looking for for so long. You were what i was looking for and I didn't even know you were what needed but it is clear as day to me now. Forever yours, K

I never thought I would write a letter to you again. It's been years since I last wrote to you or seen you but your always in me. Your my first love, forbidden love, my darkest secret. I recall over and over why we never ended up together and I have come with the conclusion that I just let you go. I never felt and still feel I was good enough for you. Destiny always brought us together and its been a long time since it has. Which scars me.Your name is the passwords to everything I own especially my heart. I miss you...

I will never forget the way I feel the moment your lips meet mine. I will never forget the butterflies that make their way the minute I see a text or a call from you. I will never forget the first time we made love. I know that although we’re too young, just 23, I can say that i’ve been in love. I’ve loved you more than anything in the entire world. I’ve felt that earth-shattering, crazy love that people talk about in books and movies. And i’ve also experienced heartbreak. Both by you. I still have hope that you will come back to me someday & I’ll wait for you forever. I love you. - R.

My son has just gotten engaged to a very wonderful man. Unlike his mom, my son has chosen well. I pray that this union will last for their life times. Both are wonderful, kind and giving men. The marriage will take place September 13th 2019. Seven years after their first real commitment to each other. Thanks kindred spirits.

You dont realize some things until you're older. Being your Mom has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. When your Dad and I were married I thought I wasn't able to have children. When I learned that I was expecting I was happy & scared ,I didn't want to mess up. I was young I thought I knew everything until I had each of you in my arms. The times gone by so fast, you're adults now. If I could go back in time and be a better Mom I would. Learn from my mistakes. Be better than me. I love each of you. Each of you mean more to me than my own life.

I've told you that I would give up everything to be with you. You want me to find someone that I can start a family with. Well I'd give up my dream of ever having kids if it meant I could have you. Your one of the best things that ever happen to me. And I wish you could see how much you really mean to me. Your the first thing I think of in the morning and the last thing I think of at night. You truly are one amazing Man! If you ever find this letter know that I love you with all my heart and soul. Love, Dallas.

I had no idea what would happen to my heart the day I agreed to get into your car after school. As we rumbled down the street you described how it was gonna be when you married me. Yes it was that kind of love. I was 15, you were 16. Its never left me. Its always there hidden. Drifting into my mind at quiet times. My memories of us are neatly folded,wrapped in silk, sheilded from eyes that could never understand. Tear stained and worn but as real and deep as if they were created yesterday. I stopped trying to forget you many years ago. Now I cherish knowing what we had was only had by a few.

I will never forget the day you took your life. My world shattered and I didn't think I would ever be okay again. You were the closest thing to a father I have ever had. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you. I wish I had known the pain you were in so that I could have helped. Maybe you would still be here. Maybe you would have met my kids. You will always be my dad in my eyes and you will always be my hero. I love you. I miss you. See you in Heaven.

Six cherries no cherry juice please is what I heard as he ordered his slush. Nervous by the calm in his voice yet excited to finally be alone with him. Years later I look back at this day and think of how that night ended. Finally being able to feel the softness in his lips, the roughness in his hands and those adorable dimples as he smiled. I knew right then and there he would always be the one! Years passed on and three months before i got married called me confessed he did in fact love me and asked me not to marry my fiancé! The words i longed to hear were now to late! Vault
