If you’re happy and you know it… write it on the wall.

February 14, 2007 By Marta Darby 5 Comments

P2130896I wanted  him to know it.

So I just wrote it on the wall – in red.
That way he sees it first thing when he wakes up.

And starts his day with the knowledge that he is loved…

by a passionate Cuban woman.

He doesn’t seem to think it is one bit unusual that I would do this.

It speaks volumes about our relationship, doesn’t it?

Either that it’s really great. or that he’s just grown accustomed to living with an unstable person. =D

E – I love you – M.
Happy Valentine’s Day.

    Wow, would you like some crackers to go with that cheese? You would think that after 17 years you’d be over all this gushy stuff. Dorks to the core. 😉 Love you both, despite your geeky-ness.

    Honey, I love you so much. You truly are an amazing, creative, sexy, and brilliant -sometimes to my detriment 😉 – woman. When I really SEE you, I am struck with a sense of wonder. Why did she choose me? It’s clear that I don’t deserve you. But for some strange reason – almost 17 years ago now? – you decided to let an insecure, skinny, white guy with not a bone of rhythm in his body – into your life. It was the money right?! ;)I don’t know what else to say, honey, except Happy Valentine’s Day. YOU are the one and only love of my life. I am so sorry for not saying and acting like it more often. You deserve the best. I’ll let Bono the poet take over now. I listened to this song the other night while laying in bed. As you read the lyrics, just replace “grace” with your name. 🙂 This song is about you.
    Grace
    She takes the blame
    She covers the shame
    Removes the stain
    It could be her name
    Grace
    It’s a name for a girl
    It’s also a thought that
    Changed the world
    And when she walks on the street
    You can hear the strings
    Grace finds goodness
    In everything
    Grace
    She’s got the walk
    Not on a wrapper on chalk
    She’s got the time to talk
    She travels outside
    Of karma, karma
    She travels outside
    Of karma
    When she goes to work
    You can hear the strings
    Grace finds beauty
    In everything
    Grace
    She carries a world on her hips
    No champagne flute for her lips
    No twirls or skips
    Between her fingertips
    She carries a pearl
    In perfect condition
    What once was hers
    What once was friction
    What left a mark
    No longer stains
    Because grace makes beauty
    Out of ugly things
    Grace finds beauty
    In everything
    Grace finds goodness
    In everything
    You love me even when it hurts.
    I am yours always,
    M – I love you. – E
