after a long absence...

when i tell her i love her, i mean it.
it's rare that i say things i don't mean. but it's not rare that i don't say the things i mean. but that's another story.
i love her completely. for who she is. for what she is to me and to the world. for where she's from and for where she's going. this is not the basis for a song by Backstreet Boys, i assure you...but i'm sure they knew what they were singing about.

my love for her is complete and whole. without barriers and boundaries. without conditions. there is nothing that she has to do to earn my love. there is nothing that she doesn't have to do to earn my passion for her. all she has to do is to be herself. and she does. that's why i love her. even when she doesn't.

my love for her surpasses anything i have ever known. it's too breathtaking for me to comprehend. she's a beautiful soul. i knew that from the moment i looked into her eyes. without a doubt. full splendour and glory. brilliant white light that engulfs my entire being.

the fact that she occupies a significant part of my being has been realised. so that my soul yearns for her physical presence when she's not around. but i believe with conviction that my soul will be with hers throughout her journeys. throughout her long immortal years.

no one owns this love i have for her. no one can make me withdraw. i alone. therefore, i have not cheated anyone. nor have i short-changed. she is mine and i am hers.

now and forevermore. amen.
