Dear Happiness,

We seem to be having the typical turtleberry romance… where we dance around the subject and sometimes ignore the feelings until we can’t anymore and fall head first… only for it to be too much too soon or not enough or just not what we thought it was.

I want you to know that I am looking for something different with you.  I am looking for a relationship that lasts a lifetime.  I know that everything won’t be perfect always.  But as long as I know you are there and I know how to get to you… that you won’t be out of my reach… then I will be okay.  I am willing to work at this because I know that only the things you work hard for are really truly worth having.  Sometimes you do just fall in someone’s lap, but they have to work in order to keep you there.

So, I want to see you more often.  We need regular dates.  I think we have known each other long enough to have family time as well.  We don’t need to make big plans, let’s just go with the flow and see what happens.

love,
turtleberry
