Cactus

Hello sweetest!

Yes, I am talking/writing to you! I have been thinking long and hard about your cactus gift and I want to share my insight on it with you and it's nothing new but I just wanted to cover it with you again this time in writing.

You gave me the cactus as a reminder that our relationship could be sharp, prickly and hurtful at some point in the future. You said that you just wanted me to remember that. Well, that goes two ways and anytime that you enter into a relationship with anybody, it can be sharp, prickly and hurtful . It's that way for you too! I could give you a cactus and say, "you know, someday this relationship could hurt you, but that's the chance we all take in love." "It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Does that sound familiar?

That cactus also represents a future that may never be and I choose not to dwell on that future. I choose only to dwell on what I have right now and what I have now is pleasing and pleasureful and not hurtful.

So, from a broader perspective, the possibility of getting hurt or NOT is spread to both of us and not just to me. Again, I choose to savor what I have and not let a possible future distract me from the present. I think that this may be why I see so many details and can focus so well on you.

So, please just remember that I love you and how special you are to me!
