or

i've been at a loss for words lately.
perhaps i have them and it is the redundant nature of them that irks me.
or at least my lack of creativity, at the moment,
or all together...
or simply just my indecisiveness. 

nevertheless i have never felt more in love.
certainly the butterflies of love fly around crazily at times whereas other times they just rest.
right now they can't stop flapping their wings.
each new day i find more ways to appreciate chad.
i am one lucky girl.
i am loved.

suggested

there was a red barn way off to the left
it was a rusty color
some of the wood was cracked
it had been there much longer than either of us knew
there were shrubs around it
my first glance was quick
the barn almost faded behind the small hill in front,
now green with the arrival of spring.
if i squinted, i could see the barn better

to many of those who passed by 
the barn had been forgotten
its appearance suggested at least that much

you reminded me
that although we often missed it
someone
somewhere
knew it well
and loved
that red barn way off to the left
