one year.

you carry away with you a part of me reflected in you. 
when your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. 
deep down, i am not different from you. 
i dreamed you, i wished for your existence. 
i see in you that part of me which is you. 
i surrender my sincerity because if i love you
 it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness.

i really can't believe a whole year has passed us by. that day was the most perfect day, the sunshine and blue sky, our family and friends sharing with us, our "i do's" and simple moments; the way we loved each other that day, all of it, was perfect. i catch myself thinking back on it often--tearing up when looking through our album and when watching our video. it makes me even more thankful, even more aware of how blessed we are, to have found each other, when we did, in this big ol' world. i still feel just as i did about paul on our wedding day, today. even more if you can believe it. my heart will always grow with love for him, and i can't wait to see where this life takes us.
