Malls, Gifts, and a bug called Destiny

Dear Amazing -

This past Friday during lunch - You and I decided to play a lunch game. We decided to go to the mall and spend 20 minutes trying to find a gift for each other to communicate our committment of faithfulness and our love for each other. We arrived at the mall and started our game at 12:30 pm. Only once in the 20 minutes did we run into each other although we found out later that we did both go to another store as well.

After 20 minutes - actually 25-30 mintues for you, we arrived at the food court and exchanged our gifts. I went first and gave you a wax seal set. The seal had the letter "A" on it which symbolized the names that we have given to each other (you - Amazing and me - Ace which stands for always completely exceptional). The "A" also stood for "I would always be faithful to you".

Next you gave me a card and then a box to hang on the wall with the chinise symbol for Destiny. Under the symbol it read - "Walk the path of your destiny with purpose and an open heart." You said that you gave this to me because you knew that it was our destiny to always be together.

This was a great lunch date - but it did not end there.

On the way back to the car you stopped in the middle of the parking lot to get a little bug off of my back. You saw the bug and said "This bug is beautiful." the bug then attached itself to your hand. You began to talk to the bug in the softest voice. Together you and the bug walked toward the car. Finally, beginning to play along I said, "what is the bug's name". You without missing a beat said, "destiny." And with that the bug few away. You seemed so content and so happy from the visit from the bug. You almost seemed as if the bug was a confirmation of our love.

For the next few minutes we shared some of the softest kisses....

I thought that I would relaize my love for you in this experience because of the gift that you gave to me, but in reality I realized it in your interaction with the bug.

I love you because you lose yourself in the innocence of a moment.....
