John Mayer - Say.

This song is really amazing to me. You know why? It brings back one of my favorite memories of Jamie and I, smiling into each other's eyes and slow-dancing to this song in a grocery store around 9:30pm. It was a really special moment that I think I'll cherish forever. It embodied the amount of pure fun we have together, and our ability to capture a beautiful moment.

I haven't really talked about Jamie a whole lot so far, probably because I don't want to sound like every other sentimental, happy-in-love woman on earth. But I'd like to share what a truly amazing guy he really is, and really what a huge place he has in my life. See, Jamie is just about the epitome of all I've wanted and needed to see in a man my age. There were men in my life who modeled the same traits, but I thought it was something that came with age. Like one man who I looked up to as father figure in my years as a wee teen, and who helped influence my life, was like 53 the last time I saw him. :) Somehow I thought that what he possessed by way of compassion, understanding, and a humongous heart was something that came with so many years of life. I despaired of finding anyone within my dating sphere with this level of maturity and compassion, but it appears I've done the impossible.

It's hard to describe what makes Jamie who he is to me, because it's a combination of so many little things that make him so perfect. Maybe it's the fact that he lets me nibble (a handy euphemism :P) his nose when I feel the urge haha, or the fact that he has agreed to take dance classes with me (and loves it), or the fact that he'll run out to the car to grab something for me if I ask him to, without complaining, or maybe it's that he's there to hold me and talk with me when I'm having a hard time coping with the kicks life deals out sometimes. Or maybe it's all of these combined to the bottom line that he takes me as I am, the whole package. The tears, the quirks, the stubborn desire to make my own way at any cost...he also appreciates the things about me that I felt noone would ever recognize as the essence of my being. It's uncanny how well he reads me and knows me through and through. The funny thing is that it's always been that way. We've had this crazy connection since we first started dating. I'm not saying we were finishing each other's sentences on the first date...it took more time, like probably a month, haha, but became more intense than even that. Haha we start each other's sentences after 10 minutes of silence. I start to explain something, a bit of my feelings or whatnot but somehow he just already knows. Same with me. Kinda spooky sometimes, but in a good way lol. But beyond this psychal bond I have with him, the things that make him amazing are too numerous to recount. I'll name the highlights though, like his warmth, his gentle nature, how safe I feel with him on every level, his hands that show he's a hard worker, the look of adoration in his eyes when he looks at me that I think will last the ages...all these and more are what make up my sweet jamie-jamie. :D I'm going to add my favorite photo of him onto this post because this is exactly my Jamie, captured in this picture. It's who he is with me, and exclusively with me :D
