Here I go again...
I wanted to write a big entry for you today, reiterating the story of how we met exactly one year ago, how you showed up at the Palomino and from the moment I saw you sitting next to that crazy horse head lamp, I knew this was the Start of Something Really Big, how I had met you before and wanted to talk to you but was dating someone at the time, how I loved your big blue moon eyes and your scruffy face and your tweed jacket and your cocked eyebrow and the fact that you were sketching on a napkin at the bar, how I loved the sound of your voice and the way it scratched and resonated within my ears and the way you said "cheers" instead of "thank you," how much more I've grown to love you over this last year, how much more I know I'm going to love you in another year or two or six, how much I adore you and respect you and appreciate your presence in my life, and how excited and grateful I am for everything you do in your life and the bits of it you share with me, and how peaceful and strong I feel in my life and in this relationship, but it's 6:57 now and you're going to be here in a half an hour to take me out for dinner and I need to get ready. So I'm sorry I don't have more time to sit down and write all of those things more eloquently, but it's only because I'd much rather tell you in person and enjoy our night together, breathing your scent and listening to that voice and looking in those eyes and thanking you over and over again for everything you do for me, for Maddie, for yourself in this life and in this relationship, for just being you and allowing me to be here to watch you uncurl. And I know you hate it when I post pictures of you on the site, but it's our anniversary. So there.
