Dearest Sweetz,

I have never felt for anyone else the way I feel about you. That is to say, I have never loved like this. I am a more loving person because of the love I feel for you.

Loving you lights me up inside and I exude it as I move about the world. That is what I mean when I say you teach me how to love. The love I feel for you existed within myself before I met you, and through you, I have finally been able to access it. (I hope these words make sense.)

If you and I were to somehow be completely free of factual circumstances and the roles and responsibilities they entail, our bodies would still belong with one another and our hearts and souls would still dance together. And if we were somehow completely free of our bodies, our hearts and souls would maybe just merge. Because at that point, why the heck not?

Can we ever merge our hearts and souls so long as we are subject to the material reality of our factual circumstances? Can we ever merge our hearts and souls so long as we inhabit these corporeal bodies?

I think we can. The reason I think this is because we do it all the time when we are together in what you have referred to as the “space of Love.” We create Love (like, capital ‘L” L-O-V-E) by merging our hearts and souls, and we exist in the space of the Love we create. At least that’s where I’m at right now, as I navigate this new and uncharted romantic territory.

My Darling, my Craig…I am open to Love and loving in ways unfamiliar. Being in this space of Love is beautiful and boundless. Boundless beyond our bodies, and certainly boundless beyond any factual circumstances we face today or which have yet to come.

Thank you for turning my light on. Thank you for showing me this place. Thank you for teaching me how to exist in Love with a capital L.
