突破口语之独白(13):Long Distance Love远程恋爱

All my life I've been waiting for you...
The first time we talked, it was like we had known each other forever. I didn't even know you, but I felt like you were already an old friend. I waited in anticipation¹ for months until I flew to Sweden to study at university in Stockholm. It seemed so far away, but I dreamed about what it would be like when you met me at the airport in Copenhagen.
And the day finally came, I was so nervous. For 9 hours over the Atlantic, my heart was pounding out of my chest. But when I finally saw you (with your little bouquet² of flowers that was making you sneeze) and you ran to me and just about knocked me over with your hug. Well, I knew, I knew that everything I thought about you was true. I knew you would never hurt me. I knew I would tear down all the walls that I had built up around my heart for you, because I knew I now had you to protect me.
Every day I love you more. Even when we have misunderstandings, I can't stop thinking about how much I love you. Can you imagine how annoying it is for me when all I want to do is be angry about something that happened, but I can't because the second I look at you, my heart melts. It's annoying, but I love it. I love not being angry. I love not being selfish. I love doing things for you, just to do it, not for something in return.
This letter is a small gift to you. We missed having a honeymoon³, and I know Hawaii's always been a dream for you. It's no guarantee, but I thought I'd try...
...I've finally found you, and I love everything about you, especially your "faults". I saved myself for you emotionally⁴, mentally, spiritually and physically⁵. I loved you before I knew you existed because I knew that God was saving⁶ someone for me.

我的整个生命一直为你而守候……
当我们第一次聊天的时候，那感觉就好像我们早已了解对方。我甚至还不认识你，可是我感觉你已是我的老友。在期待中等待了数月，直到我飞往瑞典就读于斯德哥尔摩大学。虽然好像遥不可及，可是我总想象着当你我在哥本哈根机场见面时，那将会是怎样的一个情景。
这一天终于来临。我无法按捺内心的紧张情绪。飞机在大西洋上空飞了9个小时，我的
心就要跳出来了。但是当我最终见到
你的时候，（虽然你手中的一小束鲜花让你一直打喷嚏）你直奔向我，热情的拥抱几乎将我撞倒。这时，我知道，我知道我对于你的一切梦想都已成真，我知道你永远不会伤害我，我知道我心中筑起的所有防线都已崩溃，因为我知道现在我有了你，有了你的保护。
我对你的爱意日益浓厚。纵然我们之间出现误会的时候，我也会禁不住去想我有多么爱你。你知道吗？当一些不愉快的事情发生而让我生气的时候，我是多么烦恼，可是一旦我再次见到你，我的心就软了。虽然这很恼人，可是我喜欢。我不想生气，也不想自私，我愿意为你做任何事情，一心为你而做，不奢求一丝一毫的回报。
这封信是送给你的一份小礼。我们都想好好度一次蜜月，我也知道去夏威夷也一直是你的梦想，我不敢给你任何保证，可是我会努力的……
……最终我还是找到了你，我爱你的一切，特别是你的"缺点"。我的情感、内心、精神和身体都是为了你而存在。在我认识你之前我就爱上了你，因为我知道你就是上帝为我安排的那个人。
