A little bit of love

I look at you sleeping peacefully. I feel happy cuddled upto you in the warm tent. It was a long crazy hike, on a pretty difficult trail, and I probably should be tired and wanting to sleep. But there are millions of thoughts passing through my head, as I watch you, feel your arms wrapped around me, and think of you, us...and everything.

I am happy. Just that I lack words. Happy to be away from the monotony of the big cities, be it Chicago, New York or Columbus. Happy to be away from the human civilizaton, in the middle of the woods somewhere in the Appalachians. I have been scared of bears, all through the hike. I've been scared we would get lost and never make it back. Few times I have been terrified of falling off, breaking my bones again. But here I am safe with you.I wonder what took me so long to figure out, that the one I ever wanted was always here with me; and that no one can give that loving.No one makes me feel so safe, so much in peace. You have been there with me through every storm, rain. You have relieved me of my pains, and taken the burden of all my problems. You have stayed when I asked you to leave, because you knew I can't do without you. I know you wouldn't leave me, no matter what.Why do you love me so much, I wonder. But even I don't know. Can there be a love, where you can trust someone better than this? I guess not.

I loved holding your hand and hiking up to see that waterfall. I am so fussy about food, and I am glad you put up with it. My whims, my demands, my childishness. I have nothing to fear from you. I look upto you, and someday I want to be wise like you. I want to talk like you, think like you, be like you. But, you love me the way I am, and I can't be more glad.

Tennesse is so pretty. Shame we have to pack up tomorrow and leave. But I enjoyed everyday that we spent together. I loved how the mountains looked in the morning light, in the sunset. I loved the shades of yellow and green. The pines and the deciduous. So pretty! The drive to North Carolina through the FootHills Parkway was amazing. Remember the place we stopped...the view of that valley? Seemed like straight out from Narnia's or Harry Potter's book. And the Fontana Lake...it was beautiful. How I loved the calmness. The sound of the water, the whistling of the winds through the trees, the sunlight peeking in through the branches.And the grilled chicken after the long day's travel was so good. I know you hated Pigeon Forge, but it was colorful! I think we should have better pancakes some other time...than in iHop. Even Knoxville was pretty!

I don't want tomorrow to come. I don't want to wake up. I don't want to let go of you. This world seems so perfect, so beautiful..with you. I ran hopelessly for love here and there, and all I ever needed was with me forever. Yes, life is strange. But if everything was normal, and ordinary...would I have felt the joy in this escape? Now I am tempted to kiss you again, wake you up..and tell you, how much you mean to me.
