"Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm
I've got to tell you something
This phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Whoa-oh
Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa-oh
Shades of gold displayed naturally"

I know we've got one hell of an amazing emotional bond. Frankly, this time two years ago, I never expected it to go farther than friends. But it did.

Babe, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

And what really irks me is that I see couples in the halls, holding hands, hugging, kissing (despite the no PDA rule), and those people really have no idea how good they've got it. It's sad, because odds are that those little relationships won't stand the test of time. My observation? Our generation is getting too material. That should be pretty obvious. We focus so much on our phones, our iPods and computers, our clothes, that we don't take time to work on having deep emotional relationships with our friends. In this case I'm excluding myself from the collective. I'm trying to get better, but even I have the occasional moment where I complain about something that really doesn't matter.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm impatient with this generation. I'm also looking forward to having the physical part of our relationship, because honestly we haven't spent that much time together since you joined the Army. I love the simple little gestures that mean so much. And hopefully, soon, we'll have that.
