Butterflies :)

I rarely stop thinking about you.  A favorite memory of mine will usually find a way to derail all other thoughts trudging through my head… leaving just you. :)  I’ll think of some funny conversation we shared and literally laugh out loud.  I’ll blush.  It doesn’t matter where I am, I’ll experience that rush of utter giddiness that always makes loving you feel “new.”  Each time, I fall for you all over again.  You see, there are more positives about being apart than we’d like to admit…  My favorite being that every kiss feels like the first.  Every joke merits the most genuine of laughs.  Each place we visit becomes special, forever housing the memories we create there.  I hold onto your every word, knowing you don’t like to waste them.  I cherish it all.  You do whatever it takes to call me; to get an internet connection for Facebook.You constantly make me pause and think wow, so this is what love is.  By depriving us, the distance has truly opened our eyes to each other’s worth.  Being your girl has made me so much more patient and understanding than I ever imagined possible.  You teach me so much, every single day, and I am thankful for the person you inspire me to be.  I feel so empowered to discover that our separation is anything but damaging to our relationship.  We’ll come out of this deployment stronger than ever.  We have an “Atomic Bond,” and don’t you forget it! ;)
