My Letter To Katie.

[View Blog]

Dear Katherine Rachel Marshall,

Sometimes, when I sit and try to figure out what to say to you, it never comes out right. Never once since high school as something so amazing came out of my mouth to tell you how I feel about you. Ever. Since when does Eric act romantic? When am I ever? Probably never. Not even when I try to be. But at least I try, princess.

There are times where I just can't ever get enough of you. The sound of your voice is like the sound track of my life. It's the most comforting thing I've ever heard before. Your touch. That just drives my emotions insane. Even though you keep me sane, my heart pounds like no other just by the sound of someone saying your name. The sweetest name I've ever heard. "Katie..."

When we first started going on our lunch dates, you realize we hit it off right away? I wasn't the normal Eric Yorkie with you? I didn't have to play hard-to-get, or Mr. Cool to have you even look at me twice. I could be myself, and just myself. Eric Matthew Yorkie. No one other than me. And like I told Ty, it was the easiest thing I've ever had to do. We clicked together. Clicked together like two corresponding puzzle pieces.

I know since college started which seems like forever ago, it's been harder than anything to get together, and spend time with each other. I know work gets in the way and actual trying to have a life sucks when the person you want to spend your life with lives 5 hours away. But that's changing this fall, and I never thanked you for sayin' you'll come back to UW with me. Baby, I don't think you realize how much that means to me. And remember those times I spent at your house? How we just could lay there for hours and just talk about the most randomest stuff. It didn't matter where the convo took us. We'd just sit there and spill our hearts out together, to each other. It's easy with you. As easy as breathing. Making small talk is a never with you. I can tell you my thoughts, my ideas, what's going on in this brain of mine, and you just sit there and listen to everything that I have to say. Never judging. Never down grading. But appreciating who I am. What I have to say, and how I think.

For the first time in my life, I have something to look forward to in life. Not college, not coming home to Forks during summer, but you. YOU are what makes my world turn. You're the light in the darkest room. The sunshine that beams on my skin on the hottest part of the day. You make me feel like I can fly. That I seriously have wings, and could sore like the birds in the sky. There's just something bout you that makes me believe that there's more to life than just the little games everyone plays. The 'sad' break ups, and heart ache. You've taken my hand and added a plan to how my life is suppose to end up. End up with you. I've never had a doubt in my head about that. We've gone through a lot. A LOT. And not once have I ever thought that maybe things would end up differently.

If I had to loose everything in this world, my books, my chess board, my education, EVERYTHING and I could only have one thing left, I'd choose you. You, and your love are the most important things to me. The only things that matter to me anymore. Besides Tyler and Mike, of course. BUT those kids don't count at this moment in time. So forget I even said that. And lets hope they don't ever read this. They'll think I'm some kind of romantic stud, or something. ha.ha.

Anyways, babe. I know that there are things that we're still needing to work on, and that's fine. No one is perfect. No one. Nothing. And then, I want to make those un perfect things, perfect. Perfect for our un perfect selves. That's what makes things the best with you. Just know that no matter where you are in this world, that you hold my heart. It's yours, and has been yours. You are always on my mind. You've invaded it, and have taken it away from me.

Babe, you're my life. My world. MY everything. Never think differently. Never have doubts. You're what I want, for my life. I'm spending it with you, 4 years down… and a million more to go. I am the luckiest guy in the world, Katie.

Just remember everything I've told you. I love you.

xoxo,

Eric.
