Happy Anniversary Baby: 1 Year and 4 Months

life started when i first met her. i can't remember a better time in my life where i've felt more alive, needed, and trusted from any other person. she has given me strength when life was its roughest tearing away at my pride, courage when i had become lost while searching to find myself, and the sweetest love when my soul wilted into nothing from the poisons of pain.

she is pleasure to all my senses

the following are just to name a few

sight - her big proud strides and the smooth glide when she walks, the way her smile sparkles happily, each and every time she checks me out, how attentive she looks when i'm explaining something, the way she kneels over and scoops up sand to help me build a trench on the beach, being the most beautiful girl definately by far at prom, outside on the ferry when her eyes shine and reflect sunlight from the water, the way she opens a bottle of wine as if she had been doing if her whole life like the pro she is, how all the features of her face and body are perfectly placed complimenting each other, the way she is flawlessly pretty in pink, every once in a while i'll have to do a double take because she really does look like drew barrymore at times, how she has a classic beauty about her that states she is beautiful regardless of what the time period she's in, the way her hair moves with the wind, the way she dances like a little raver girl to music on the radio or in her head, how quick she is and determined at work, seeing her head scarf on, how perfect the picture seems when we're alone at the beach, watching her make fun of brittany spears, how beautiful peaceful and conten she looks when she is asleep, when she concentrates, when she's being tickled, the slightly buzzed look when we're drinking together, seeing her spark with laughter, the curves on her mouth when she smiles, the way she puts her shoes on and takes them off, the way her whole body lightens up when we meet in a crowd, when she gets dressed up to go out on the town, seeing her when i wake up and when i go to sleep, and the way she looks at me when i let her know how much i love her.

scent - the way her hair smells so good, each sweet breath, when our sweats mix, the way she's the only girl in the whole wide world that can make smoke smell good on a person from a long happy night of clubbing, how she smells like work when she comes home from a long day, the soap that she uses, how she smells like flowers when she's asleep, her beautiful collection of perfumes especially bvlgari and gucci envy, her always yummy cooking, the scent of her neck and lips after a wondeful and always exciting kissing session, how her clothes always smell better than mine even though we use the same detergent and wash at the same time, the way her feet smell like hemp right before we go to bed, and how i can smell her on my hands like scents sweet children leave.

taste - her lips, her skin, the way i love tasting a hint of perfume after kissing her, soft wet kisses, hard wet kisses, sweet kisses, you're-gonna-get-it kisses, helping me love gummi worms and bears again, making me fall in love with aussie junk food which i so yummy, when she makes layered potatos, how she got me to love hornsby apple cider, being there when i decided that australian wedges beat all american wedges no contest, introducing me beyond the world of regular coffee, and how we used to eat bags of 'the works' and barbeque potato chips, how one of her best friends gave me a true first rate aussie barbeque , and the way i can't ever get enough of her sweetness on my lips.

sound - her voice, her laugh, when she tries to talk and gets choked up during happy tears, the popping of champagne bottles, when she hums to a song regardless of loud it is because she can hum a song in her head and i can still hear it, the way you can tell that she is so smart just from the way she talks and how everything that she says has so much meaning to it, how i can tell what kind of mood she's in just from what music she's listening to, hearing her make up words when she doesn't know the lyrics, her parents creaking front door at their older house, when we hear the jingling of the neighbours cat and we both 'mew', when her doggie bronte barks and sniffs like crazy, when she suprises me by knowing the words to wu-tang songs, the sound of my pager going off when i'm running late to come over to her house, singing with her in my car especially to weezer, when we yell at people, quoting adam sandler lines with me, the way she sings and even better when she doesn't think i can hear her, singing 70's and 80's music, the doorbell at her old house, the ringing of the phone when i know it's her calling, the immediate turn on when she speaks another language, the way she says 'i love you', her aussie and sometimes aussie/american accent, when she calls me 'teluk', and when she says 'i want to spend the rest of my life with you'.

touch - feeling how perfect our hands fit together, knowing that it is her next to me and no one else when we're in bed, how we always have to be touching, giving her a full body rub, her head on my shoulder, her warm loving hugs, holding her tightly at night especially when we spoon, playing with our feet under the table, the way she plays with my hair, how soft her skin is, the strength in her arms and legs when we're tickling one another, the way her hair is always so soft, how good it feels to put my arm around her, the way she reaches over to let me know that she's thinking about me, the way we keep each other warm, the friction between our bodies, and how we always find ways to please one another.
