So,
as I'm sitting here,
browing for something to tell you how I feel,
it occurs to me that I am browsing through words not of my own.
How can anyone else possibly know
or say
how it is that I am feeling?
Someone Else's definitions of love and trust and happiness and hope...
Definitions that aren't mine.
Close, maybe,
but not perfect.

Then again,
can I even begin to verbalize what is going on
inside my head and heart and soul?
Not to the extent that you deserve.
Is it even possible to formulate concrete thoughts or ideas
around emotions that are ever-changing?
Ever-evolving?

Defining something as abstract as love
or trust
or happiness
or hope
Is only an exercise in futility.
A million pretty passages of a trillion pretty words
cannot even begin to convey the depth of it.

The only way to understand is to experience it,
as I experience it now.
I know not how to describe love
except in terms of you.
I know not how to verbalize trust
except in terms of you.
I cannot define happiness
or depict hope
except in terms of you.

I find that all the pretty words have escaped me,
and everything I think and feel and dream
can be summed up quite succinctly
in one simple word -

you

Welcome, Elizabeth, to our little corner of the universe. This is a poem that I wish I could have written myself. Please, make yourself and home, and by the way...
