Put The Letter In A Box

This is an old letter I found that I love.

It could all be so simple. I could write it all down and make a year so easy to read. I wanted to remind you of how wonderful this year has been for me. About everything that has happened has brought the two of us closer together. Closer that I have ever been to anyone ever. Just a few things to look over and smile about. The hills, the valleys of our life together so far. There were miles traveled and songs recorded. There was music city, the music itself, the talking and talking. The laughter and the kisses in the silence. The written and spoken word, the lunch breaks and the warm bed on a cold night. The moment, any moment to get. The skirts, the drums, the bars and the beers. There were sad times, sicknesses, and endings. The tears over people lost from us, the friends that have left, and the friends that have come. There were dinners, and boat rides. There were parties and games. There were layoffs and new jobs. Research and design. Months of laziness, and coffee at 2 p.m. Sleeping all day, and doing nothing but holding each other. Bad jobs, tears, and late nights and being missed, and missing. The Gully, the tent, interruptions, and realizations. Being left out and wanting to be. Dirt bikes, more boat rides, cicadas and tornadoes. Fights, and the rescued, chaos, and newness, then peace. There was peace in the end and through everything you were there. You are my world and you were my year. I can't wait for the next one.
