I Love You

I always thought that

our kind of relationship

only existed in dreams -

In the past

I did not want to let anyone really know me

Now

I find that I am telling you things about me

that I long ago forgot

because I want you to understand

everything about me

In the past

I only wanted people to see the best of me

Now

I find that I do not mind your seeing my faults

because I want you to accept me the way I am

In the past

I thought that only I could make the

right decisions for myself

Now

I can discuss all my ideas with you

and you can help me make decisions

because I have such a complete trust in you

In the past

I did not care how I treated people

Now

I find that I have a new sensitivity

towards everyone

because my softest emotions have been

awakened by you

In the past

love was a word that I was not sure of

Now

I find that inside of me

every fiber, every nerve, every emotion, every feeling

is exploding

in an overwhelming emotion of love

I always thought that

our kind of relationship

only existed in dreams -

Now

I have found out that

our kind of relationship

is even better

than my dreams

and the love that

I have discovered

is all for you
