You Had Me At Hello

This isn't a poem, or a story. This is the truth, this is my heart. This is about Eric. The love of my life. This is a proclamation to him.

            This isn’t a poem, this isn’t a story. It’s nowhere near fiction, only the absolute truth. This isn’t about someone whom I could live without. This is about him. This is about Eric.

 

            It might be too late to tell you this, you might already know everything I’m about to say. But, I’m going to try to express my love through words, do what I should have done, what I wanted to do, in the beginning. Eric, I’m sorry if you get upset with me for showing this to the world. I doubt you will, but, I can never be too sure.

 

            I love you.

 

            I go to sleep every night, thanking God (yes, the very entity I have said I don’t believe exists. But, with you in this world, I believe he might, after all). I thank him for putting you on this Earth, a light in this seemingly never-ending darkness, every perfection combined into one completely perfect form. I don’t know what I would do without you in my life, you’re my world. If I were to, I would lose myself as well. I would die inside. Living death.

 

            I’ve broken too many hearts in the past and have had my own broken a fair share amount of times and I know yours has, too. But, I promise that I’ll never let go of your heart and let it shatter. No matter what, whether you want this to be the case or not, you have my heart. You always will. I hope you won’t break it, because it won’t matter if it’s whole or not. I’ll still love you with every last piece.

 

            These past months have been the most amazing to ever occur to me. I already know you’re the love of my life. You’re the one. I love you with every single bit of myself and my heart. I always will, I always have. I already wish to marry you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, through the good and the bad, whatever happens, we’ll make it. I swear on it. I don’t care about the distance; all I care about is you. I’ll wait eternity for you.

 

           I love you.

 

            You had me at hello.

Oh, Chloe. This is beyond amazing, I tell you. "Truthfully romantic"...that feels like an understatement, hehe...
Honestly, I tell you, I'm so happy for you. The love you have for this guy is pretty intense (if I go by what you've written). It was like a never-ending flow when I started reading this. Everything was straight to the point, no loops, no heavy words or anything. Just plain..."love".
I loved it! (i can say this a 1000 times more, haha) And Chris will too, no doubt.

Very touching, very emotional. This may be nonfiction, but you managed to weave it into a sweet, beautiful tale. Well done.
