Real

This thing is getting real, isn't it?

I mean… the love has always been real. I'm not sure if I've ever felt anything more real than my love for you. I know you think I'm exaggerating when I say I've never felt anything like this before, but I promise you, I'm not. Oh, I've loved before, sure enough. I've been a hopeless romantic since birth, lol. But this? Nothing like this. This is… I don't even know. I don't have the words to begin to describe it…

And, the thing of it is… I think you feel it, too. Right? I mean, I can scarcely believe I'm saying this, but I think you do… a year ago, I was just starting to believe, but gosh… it still sometimes seems so… impossible.

But you do. You love me, don't you? Adore me, even. Why, I will never know, but I think that you do.

I'm not used to being adored, ⭐️… I'm struggling to adjust… but… I think I'll manage, somehow.

The road ahead is no less rocky than it's ever been… but I feel like we're both getting a bit more clarity, and getting a bit better about communicating. I'm sorry it's taking so long, my love, but we're getting there. We will get there. We'll figure it out. I'm sure of it.

I have faith in us.

I love you, my hill by the lake. More than you could possibly know.

Yours,
