From the first I met her at Rocky,{Remember those days?} she was one of the coolest people I had ever met. She always smiled and was great to hang out with.

Even more so now, I am can honestly say that I have had some of the most interesting conversations and fun around her. And she always has some of the kewlest garb!!

I mean, you can't get more fun than sitting around a firepit, half naked, drinking and carrying on a great conversation. :-)

This woman is more loving, caring, beautiful and sensual than I have the ability to define. She is the embodiment of the perfect hearth goddess and as my wife and mother of my children, fulfills that lofty role greatly. I love this woman more than I can describe and often wonder if I'm worthy or capable completely reciprocate that love.

When I first met this incredible woman, we were rivals. It took one evening of her skin and her laugh, her wicked wit and gods, her touch... to tell me that beside us, the boy we were vying for paled in comparison.

I loved this women as truly as I have ever loved anyone. I never really got to tell her how much, even through our years as friends- trading kisses and adoring words, but not much more. If she ever knew how much I've thought about her, the nights I laid awake at night wishing I'd just taken... one more chance...

Let her be called 'fire' and take the name from it's element. Her spirit is free and unconquerable in a way the rest of us aspire. The old adage, dance as if no-one were watching, sing as if no-one were listening, and live each day as if it were your last... that's my girl. That's the woman that will always dance in the back of my mind.
