Because sometimes, 'i love you' isn't enough

I'm sat, indulging in Nat Geo Wild when I ought to be buried in respiratory medicine. My mind wonders over to my lover 5280kilometers away and I breathe a prayer:

'Dear God, please show him and help him understand just how much I love him and I'm in love with him, because the words 'I love you' just aren't enough to convey where I am and what I feel and just how much he has my heart.'

Yesterday I confessed that I love where we are. 15months into our relationship i'm thoroughly welcoming and enjoying the i'm-so-in-love-with-my-boyfriend stage. It's a never before experience stage for me and i'm so open to experiencing it completely. I'm at that listening to love songs, spontaneous smiling and giggles, never enough conversation time beautiful place.

Yet underneath all of that, i love our slow burn. I love that after 14months of gruelling distance, we're here, growing stronger and excitedly more in love with each other than ever before. I love that we have a better understanding of who we are and what we want. I love our connection. I love us and i'm very excited about the future. I don't know what's going to be in it, but as long as you're in it, i'm home.
