Everything I know about myself, everything I am, my entire being to the very depths of my person, my soul, is telling me that I have found the One. The one woman who has been in the deepest part of my heart the last 20 years. We met when I was 25. She left me speachless. The first time I saw her I became a believer in love at first sight. She was a fledgling friendships sister. She was also dating a friends friend, and so I never pursued her, even though I craved her company.

16 years later, we have been reunited. Both business owners in towns 35 miles apart. The moment we met I was 25 again and about speachless. Brain fog. She completely captivates me. We've talked a lot. She is the most intelligent woman I have ever met. I even told her that her mind is what I am most attracted to. "You are such a smart woman, and I find that sexy as hell." I think those were my exact words to her. That's saying a lot as she is a drop dead gorgeous woman. She has my heart and she knows it. I find I can't help myself from opening up to her and sharing my deepest feelings. I've allowed her to peer into my self uncovered as never before. She has seen me, paged through me like an open book and knows exactly who I am. Everything inside and every part of me wants nothing more than to sweep her off her feet, in doing so be swept away myself for the rest of our lives. She leaves me speechless often. Sometimes with a look, a smile. Most men would label her: beautiful. But she is so much more. Her mind absolutely fascinates me. She is more than I could ever have dreamed possible. I could never grow tired of listening to her speak. Everything about her is right for me. "Take my breath away" becomes a reality whenever I see her. My emotions were stirred today like never in my life. Never have I experienced such an intimate moment as a long drawn out hug from her today. Never has my heart been moved in this way. Never have I felt this way. In her presence, life is more precious, every moment is experienced, remembered. I could effortlessly spend eternity with this woman and never tire. I could happily spend the remainder of my lifetime lost in her eyes. I would hold and cherish her till the day I die. I know it as certain as I am about anything and every truth that exists But no matter what happens, someday I will be old and grey and when I look back on the life I lived, I know that this woman was, is, and will forever be, the true love of my life and my breath till the day I die. There will never be another. We look perfect together, we compliment each other. (Her words, in a text and good thing as reading those words lit me up and I was probably grinning like a fool. I know my heart skipped many beats and pounding to catch up.). I sure hope she sees the good in me. Oh man!

Some people will say anything for simultaneous spontaneity a shag

SophoclesTheFox · 07/10/2017 09:27

I'm assuming your respective spouses are in the dark over the depth, breadth, height and weight of your torrents of emotions? Confused

RainbowHash · 07/10/2017 09:28

Pretty intense, whatever 'it' is. I think I would run if that was said about me!

Deadsouls · 07/10/2017 09:31

You lot are really cynical!

I would wish to meet someone who made me feel like that.

bellissimiaow · 07/10/2017 09:40

Ok so we need more information. Not so much of the fluff.
What happened during the 16 years between you first meeting her and then meeting her again? Did you both marry? Did she know during this time how you felt?

When you met up again 4 years or so ago, what happened? Are you together now or are you still swooning from agar with an aching heart?

Mainly though, DOES SHE KNOW that you feel all squiggly and mushy about her and have you ever seen her with raging PMT when she's shrieking at you for not putting your pants in the wash basket? Because how you treat her at that point matters a LOT.

Tom Cruise is such a dick

User21 you are right of course but i can't forgot Cocktail. The teenage me melted at "I'll never get spooked again"

I felt like this once, he's morphed into an annoying old git now unfortunately.

DontDrinkDontSmoke · 07/10/2017 10:34

Creepy as fuck

luckiestgirl · 07/10/2017 10:41

Is there a catch OP? Or is this a happy ending?

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 07/10/2017 10:55

Let's hope your wife is as thrilled as you are Hmm

Elendon · 07/10/2017 11:02

One person's old annoying git is another one's treasure. until the rose tinted glasses fall

winterwinter · 07/10/2017 11:22

That’s disgusting

user1487175389 · 07/10/2017 11:27

You may wish to Google Limerence OP. It describes the sort of ongoing obsession you describe.

Envy < vomit

ADishBestEatenCold · 07/10/2017 11:48

Did OP say he/she was married? Or that this woman is married?

Missed that bit, if so, but ... if not and they are both free and single ... good luck to them.

muminthecity · 07/10/2017 11:55

Ugh, I'd cringe myself inside out if someone spoke to me like that

WalkingInMyShoes · 07/10/2017 12:09

Married?
FFS.

MsGameandWatching · 07/10/2017 12:19

I'm my experience people who idealise potential partners like this tend to disengage equally powerfully and abruptly when the person shows them self to be human and flawed as they always do.

corlan · 07/10/2017 12:22

I've allowed her to peer into my self uncovered as never before

That reminds me - time to book a smear test.
