Dear Mike,

Baby, I don't even know where to begin. From the first time we talked to each other on the phone I knew you were special. And the first time we met, words cannot even explain.

I was so nervous; until I saw you. It seemed so natural, like we've known one another for years. Truth is, it's been just under six weeks. I never knew I could feel this strongly about someone this soon, but you've proved me wrong. Every time I see the beach or a sunset I think about that night. I think about that day and night all the time. From the first time I saw you until the last kiss of the night.

It's hard for me to tell you how I feel, because no one in my previous relationships has wanted that. And if they have, I've been afraid to tell them because I was afraid of being hurt. Please bare with me baby, I'm working on it. I will slowly be able to tell you how I feel or what I'm thinking. I read this quote today and it's made me think: "The best way to love is to love like you've never been hurt." That fits my situation one-hundred percent. I keep dwelling on the past and what everyone else has done to me. After reading that I realized I cannot be with you and be happy and continue to dwell on what other guys have done to me. I am with you. Not them. I need to concentrate on making you happy. And letting you make me happy. Up until this point you've been different than any other guy. I know that you wouldn't hurt me, at least intentionally. That's why you are different. I know you care for me and want to be with me. I am sorry I have doubted that. There has not been a moment in the last six weeks where I have doubted any feelings for you.

You've walked into my life and totally turned it around. I was so depressed and torn up about what had happened to me in the last year or so; I was nearly ready to give up. You gave me the hope that I needed to keep going on. I am so grateful for having you in my life. I've been waiting on someone just like you to walk into my life. Baby, thank you for everything.

One last thing before I go. I have wanted to tell you something, but have not been able to bring myself to do so ...

I love you!

Jennifer
