Dear Gregory,
I didn't believe in love at first sight but on March 11, 2012, I was proved wrong. I was engulfed with the utmost conviction that you were mine. Oh the tears I held back after what seemed like forever and a day, writing and dreaming about you in my build a man contract. You had finally arrived. And you were everything I dreamt of and MORE. You took the time you did because I'm picky as hell and you were a TALL order.
When I was a little girl, I played make believe. As an adult now, I always tell people I play make believe for a living --- never lose your inner child, folks! I KNEW that my imagination would manifest my reality. After all, reality leaves a lot to the imagination (thanks John Lennon). I dreamt of my King, my husband. He was fearless, ruthless, powerful, a Renaissance man and a total Adonis in my eyes (hehe). And he loved me. Immeasurably. He worshipped the ground I walked on. It was a dream. And I worked off of that dream until I was 20 years old and continued to refine it through my creation, Build A Man. Some might call it the immature longings of a girl but I absolutely knew my la grande passion was right around the corner. I picked up the phone on December 25, 2011 (3 months before physically meeting), and there you were. Gregory, you are the man of my dreams, and I knew it the moment you said hello. However, I can’t help but think of the things I didn’t dream about... I didn’t dream that I would hear my husband praying over me as I dozed off to sleep. I didn’t dream that my husband would face his own personal battle and show me what a victory looks like. I didn't dream that exactly a year after our first encounter, we would wed. (Thank you for giving me my Christmas wedding dream!). Today you are 59 years old and I am 25 years old. The soul exists for eternity and knows not the meaning of time. Age is not an element that it considers; it can only feel the special connection it experiences when it is united with the correct match. And what an impeccable and delicious match we are. I am so deeply grateful to you! You are my heart, my life, my best friend, my eternal flame, my WORLD. And you are so mine. Here we both are together, embarking on the most fantastic, monumental and thrilling adventure anyone could wish ever for -- a magnificent life together as a unit of passion, laughter, fun, joy, prosperity, sensational, massive wealth, fame, genius-level creativity and power -- a love affair to end all love affairs -- une grande amour de la coeur extraordinaire, non? My heart has always been with you. I am living my truth, my destiny to the blissful, transcendental max because of you. I fell in love with you the same way we fall asleep, slowly and then all at once. I also knew how deeply in love I was with you when I accepted that your happiness could be even if I wasn't a part of it.
There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them. You are the mad, passionate, extraordinary love I've been looking so long for. Thank you, so deeply from the depths of my heart for taking up residence in my heart. I celebrate the goodness of your being everyday, honey. You are my hero and I am eternally proud of you. Thank you for making my wildest dreams come true! No measure of time with you will ever be enough, but let's start with forever. I love you with all my butt. I would say heart, but my butt is bigger :)
Your eternally grateful Queen,
Cherie
