Love Note

9-22-17

I was seriously considering just laying here in the darkness alone, lost and scared. Maybe I would cry here under the blanket in self-pity. The weather has turned cold and I miss smiling. It has faded from my face. I can't find the laughter in my heart. I could sit here like an old man you see in a mental hospital in the movies, with my head hanging down towards the floor with moist eyes. But I'm not going to.

What did get me up is, somewhere inside my heart, I heard your laughter and felt your foot in the middle of my back pushing me off the bed, whispering in my ear that it's not the end of the world. That love is still in our hearts, no matter how many nights we have to spend apart.

You know when we get to where we're going, we can be any age we want to. I want to be 18 because at that age, I still believed I was a good person and the world was a good place. I believed anything was possible. We shared our first kiss, our first "I love you"s. That's when your laughter was the loudest. It's not that I didn't want to be with you before that. I was just too scared.

I'm glad you got me up. Now I have a smile on my face and laughter in my heart. I love you and know you love me, so I will go on waiting for a sign, my love.

I'll love you always.

Forever and ever,
Your Steve
