I love you.

A simple phrase, 8 letters, very quick to say. But there is so much behind it. Sometimes, it seems to become almost cliche: people say "I love you" all the time. The very first time you say it to someone or someone says it to you, though, it really has meaning.

"I love you" is one of my favourite phrases. I love saying it to Alex and I love hearing it from her.

This morning, Alex said something different to me as she left for work. She said "I'm so glad you're in my life." The same sentement as "I love you," but said slightly differently.

I was mostly asleep when she said it, but I remember distinctly smiling a goofy smile, and feeling warm all over. I felt like I did when we first said "I love you." And it's not that she (or I) hadn't said that phrase before...but...I don't know...it was just magical this morning.

Alex, I am so glad that you're in my life too.
