Hello woman,
With passing days you have brought me highs higher than my dreams have lent me, yet with every time I see you, you get me closer to loving you more; you have also put me into the deepest lows so as to believe I’ve hit the bottom, yet with each depression you bring me lower. Are you my light? You bring me the joy of the immensity of the beauty of passing seconds. You are the reason I want to make you happy. Each word from your lips is as important to me as the breath in your lungs and the beating of your heart. You are my religion woman. I pray to you that I can reside in your arms. Where is the transcendence, where is the magical affection that takes care of all of our problems; do they not exist? I suppose the answer is obvious enough, such love is fantastic. And I do love you woman, in the way that is most true; the single truth is false. My love is true; it changes. Every time I feel lost, your comfort is pacific. When I get nervous, the thought of you makes me brave. I wonder what your true love would do to you, will do to me.
Woman, you are my religion. I will never give up on my love for you, as much as you have love in god. To be good to you is to be truly good, to make love to you is to be truly loved. To be loved by you is to rest easily in the beautiful ecstasy of my gods embrace. You are the singularity of my hopes, the one apple of my eye. I have waited for a lifetime it seems to be where I stand, with you. I have been put on the pedestal of your confidence, but I am at the foot of your affections. I don’t understand you; I love you, but do not understand you.
I will say this to end. I will love you forever, but give nothing I do not deserve, and don’t tell me you love me until you truly feel so. All I ask, all I pray is that you don’t bar me from your heart, don’t exclude me for reason. I will love you forever.  

                                  Truly yours,
                                      Man

I am the two-toed wanderer

Thanks Kacy, that was such an eye soar wasn't it.

This letter was for all of you, it's how I feel about the women that i come to love. The women that I feel so much for that I would write volumes in the attempt of expression. Im not even close to being at the end, nor am I as eloquent as I would like.

Thank you all for the love you send, I send it back in spades.
