Today

Today

After his death, discovered among his things were

118 love letters I'd sent to Peter Sanchez. This was

written approx. Dec. 8, 1971, before we got married.

Today I feel like pleasing you more than before.

Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for.

To be living for you is all I want to do.

To be loving you, it'll all be there when my dreams come true.

Today you're making me say that I somehow have changed.

Today you looked into my eyes, I'm just not the same.

To be anymore than all I am would be a lie.

I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry.

Today, everything you want I swear it all will come true.

Today I realized how much I'm in love with you.

With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love.

To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough.

Please, please listen to me, it's taken so long to come true.

And it's all for you.

All for you.
