Why I Love Sue

To sit down and write out why you love someone is an odd exercise. I just do and that’s that.

But why? What is it about someone, about being with one particular person and not someone else, that makes your chest tingle and head swim? Is it merely chemical? Is it the way her breasts look under her shirt, or the way they look without her shirt on? Is it hips, legs or ass? Is it her eyes? Her hair?

Or is it the way she talks to you? Talks about you, talks about talking about you to others? Is it the way she cares? Or is it how you can tell how much she loves you whenever you look into her eyes?

Is it how you find yourself thinking about the your future together? How when you look forward and see yourself she is standing right next to you?

Sue, you make me feel all these things and more. When we fight and stand there not speaking to one another I feel as though my heart is ready to shrivel up and my brain freeze over. I just feel sick. In my mind I can feel your body against mine. When I’m alone and reaching for a bag of Doritos I can hear your voice in my head and I almost always stop myself …

I feel you inside me when you’re not around and I feel myself in you. When I’m angry or frustrated by work or whatever the image of you in my mind always brings me back from the edge. I can’t imagine my future without you. I can’t imagine you not being around. When we talk of moving in together I feel a nervous excitement. What if, what if and I feel so alive. I can still see you sitting at the table at Last Temptation, your long, dark hair, your blue eyes and your shy little smile and I still remember thinking : “This isn’t right. She’s better looking than her picture. She’s beautiful. This can’t be her.” And we haven’t been apart since that day.

But words are just words in the end. They mean nothing without actions. I hope my actions have matched my words. I love you.
