Love Note from a 17 Year Old Girl - 1991

A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment. -Jane Austen

I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you Jeff. I do. I do. I do. I love you so much. I love you more. I love you. You are so precious. I need you always. I love you forever. Think about you all the time. Can you read this? Could hug you to death. I love you. I love you. I love you. You I do love. Your gorgeous smile greets me every morning. I love you. I love you. I love you. My favorite person. Love the way you smell. Love the way you look. Love the way you wear your hair. Love the little things you do. Love who you are. Don't change. I love you. I love you. I love every square inch of you. You are the one. I don't want anybody else. I don't want to hold anybody else's hand. Only yours, yours, yours, yours. I'm so happy with you. I love to hear you breathing. I love to hear you laugh. I love to see you smile. I love to see you smile {at me}. I'm addicted to your love. Do you have any idea how much I love you? God's universe is not big enough to hold my love for you. I want to see you every day. I want to be with you every day of my life. I want you. I want to see you every day of my life. I want to run through fields with you. {You may laugh now.} I love your flowers. The flowers are you symbolically. {Except they die and you are indestructible.} I treasure my flowers. I treasure you. My flowers are beautiful. You are beautiful. Our flowers are unique. We are unique. I love you so much. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love your voice. I love you. I love you. I only think of you on two occasions - day and night.{not original} Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. Couldn't stand to be without you. How do I love thee. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love your eyes. I love your nose. I love your cold ears. I love your chin. I love your mouth. Yes I do. I know you do but I love to tell you anyway. Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. I love your name. Kimberly Bouldin. I love that name, too. I am so fortunate to be loved by you. I need you forever. Us forever. I hope you can read this. If you can't I'll write it in the sky but it's not big enough. I love you. I love you. I'm crazy over you. Not crazy {mentally} because I know that's what you're probably thinking. I think of you all the time. In fact, in case you don't know yet, I'm thinking of you now. Thinking about how you always make me laugh. Thinking about your hair getting in your face when you play basketball. Thinking about my hamster. {I really don't know why.} I love you. I couldn't share you with anybody else. Forgive me for saying this, but I don't want to share you. I can't help it. That's what you do to me. If I weren't in geometry right now, I'd turn cartwheels. Can I tell you something again? I love you so much. I hope reading this doesn't hurt your precious little eyes. "The kiss that's in your stare haunts me day and night." I read that in a poem. I haven't kissed you yet but I stare at you often. My kiss is in my stare. Remember that. When I look at you, I can't help but think how much I love you. I'll never get tired of telling you that. Never. Never. Never. Never. I can't wait until 1994. 3 years. To me, 2 1/2. I love you. I love you. I'm so happy. Jeff, I love you. I hope you'll always be able to put up with me. I'm going to read this out loud to you at our wedding. {Just kidding.} If you are ever missing me, just pull this little note out and read it. I love you and everybody that loves you and everybody that loves everybody that loves you. Well, most of them anyway. I'm glad I'm almost out of school. I can't wait until next year. I can't wait until the next time I see your glowing face again. I love you forever and ever.

Jeff did carry this in his wallet for about 18 years. The letter became pretty fragile, though. I have a whole box of letters between us... but I'll spare you! At seventeen, I had no clue about real life and all the things that go along with love and marriage and everything it entails...It was all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows back then! We were married two years later. :)

{Happy 18th Wedding Anniversay, dear! I love you, I love you, I love you...}
