“Stop This World” - Ne-Yo

I wrote this letter to her earlier in the summer. The song goes along with it.

Baby,
I’m writing you this letter for the world to see. I’m writing this letter to inspire love. I’m writing you this so that people can fiend for what I feel for you. So that people will fall in love and be just as happy as I am. I’m writing you this letter to help the hearts of everyone who has the privilege of reading how I feel about you. You deserve this very public display of affection. Some things are best kept secret, but I can’t deny anyone from feeling the way that I feel about you. I truly believe that what we have can uplift and bring happiness to those who figured love was something that they would not get used to in their lives. Those very people who I look at and see myself in them before you came into my life. I want them to know this feeling. These words are for everyone to see, but only for your heart to feel.

It’s been a year. I can’t believe it myself. This is the longest relationship that I’ve ever been in. I can’t say that it’s been the easiest year, but it’s been the best year. I dedicate the song that’s playing on my blog right now to that year. I can’t sing a note to save my life anymore, but I’ll sing my voice out to this song. I will because I can relate. I know how every word he is saying feels. I’ve never felt a love strong enough to stop this world from spinning. I know you’re the woman that I want to spend my life with. God strike me down if my heart feels any other way as I write this. I don’t care who knows. I want to give my life to you. I’ve shared myself with you in ways that I’ve never shared with anyone. I’ve given you parts of me that I wasn’t ready to accept for myself. You’re the only woman that I want to be with. You’re the only woman that I will give myself to. You know this in a literal sense. I can physically feel it in my heart when your name is said. When I see a picture of you. When my phone rings and I see your name. I just know that God has given you to me.

You know, I’ve never cried a tear of joy in my life until now and I’m not afriad to say this. I don’t care how it makes me look. At this very second, thinking about you, my eyes began to water. I’m trying to fight it and it’s settled down now. Never in my life. This isn’t planned. I didn’t sit down to write this and shed a tear at the thought of how this love makes me feel. It just happend. That’s what I want everyone else to feel in their lifetime. I want them to aspire to have this. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. Without your love over this past year, I really don’t know how I would have made it. I’ve cried a numerous types of tears in this relationship, but none like the ones I fight now. Never in my life, baby. This is so new. I’m falling in love all over again. I’d trade every wordly possession that I have to fall in love all over again at the sight of you for the rest of my life. Others may not understand what I’m saying now. They may think that I’m soft or find reasons to make fun of this - but you know what? I honestly don’t care. I love you with everything in me. Let’s give them another reason not to like me.

I’ve been sitting awake tonight for a completely different reason. I tried to sleep, but these thoughts are so prominent in my mind. This love is so deep in my heart. I’m awake tonight enjoying what we have. I can’t control my dreams, but I definitely can control my waking hours. I can control how I spend my thoughts. Tonight, I give you my mind in hopes that my thoughts translate into yours as you sleep and you have a beautiful dream. We have a future to brace for, love. A future that I won’t share with the rest of the world right now. That is for you an I to know. We have to keep something for ourselves in this world. Our future is ours. So in the present let’s show them how to love and show them how to model something based on what we have. Let’s write the book on relationships and give it away for free. I’m down with you for life. I’m yours. You’re mine. Let’s love in the sky, because if I touch this world I will stop it from spinning. We are limitless.

Yours forever and truly,
_______.

I still feel this way.
