Do you ever feel like the words "I love you"

don't convey your true feelings? I think that "I love you" is so overused. You know, "I love that" or "love you" just don't show the true depth of your feelings.

It's strange but when I think of Jose I get this feeling in my chest, almost a pressure or tightness. No, I'm not having a stroke or heart attack. I find it difficult to explain. I even tell him that what I feel is so much BIGGER than words. I'd still like to find some. Does anyone else feel this?

How can we have come this far? We started dating when I had just turned 16, seeing each other but not going "steady" since I was 15. Over half of my life has been spent with Jose. I'm truly addicted to him. I just can't get enough.

I feel so lucky to have found "THE ONE" when I was too young and stupid to realize it. We have each grown and changed, we've had some really difficult times, and yet we always find our way back to each other. Our commitment to each other is bigger than anything else. Our dedication is truly amazing. How can we have gotten this lucky?

I get scared sometimes, thinking about what we have. Our lives are blessed. I really do believe that. We may never be able to do everything or have everything that we want, hell, sometimes we don't have the things we need. We find a way to work through every day.

Every new day has piled on the last and it has gotten us to where we are now. To be honest, there were times that we've each wanted to quit. We didn't and don't have that fairy tale life. It's not even a reality to expect or want that fairy tale. Not really. But, what we have I would never change.

An ode to my love. Love is bigger than who we are. Love is what we live, every single day.
