It's amazing what can happen in 17 hours...

Maybe I'm embellishing, but I don't think I'll ever truly understand the power of love to motivate human action. How ridiculous is it that someone would spend $300 to fly up for only 15 hours to be my date for my fraternity formal, then go back the next morning to return to her responsibilities at work? I am a man of many words, a man who loves to hear himself speak and explain things and rationalize people's actions, but after experiencing just how great being loved feels, I am at a loss for words. As she says, "speechless". That silence says something, especially coming from someone like me. Throughout this entire relationship, I have felt so undeserving of the love and attention I've been given, especially because of my inability to fully reciprocate as a result of my busy schedule. Why do I deserve a love like this? Who am I to burden such an amazing, thoughtful, and beautiful person like her, especially since I haven't been stepping up to the plate lately. I truly thank God for sending her to me every night; it's because of her love and support that I know that I'm moving in a positive direction in my life. She can push me to be better without doing anything, yet her dedication to her responsibilities and her goals inspires me to a new level of vision and achievement. I'm a very independent person, but I just can't see me living the rest of my life without her. She is my hope, my dream, my support, my wings, my love, my life. It's pretty heavy for a 19-year-old, but I believe it with every bit of me. Thank you, babe, for all you do. I hope that one day I can be as good to you as you have been to me. Love you.
