The original
“Kandi” (Tatiana) Mary (Maria) Teresa (Terri) Grieco Cainaka Mi Amor,
I really thought I was truly happy until I met you. Throughout my life I have had fun, been happy and laughed, but this is the first time I have had all three simultaneously and I cannot get enough.
I never thought I would be able to find someone that could keep up mentally, physically, and challenge me to be a better man, all the while truly loving and respecting me. Someone that would let me be me. I have always settled!! Life has paid off… I got that and much more. You are beautiful, witty, funny, fun, successful, much smarter than me, easy to talk to, supportive and have the most amazing heart.
I have spent most my adult life building walls around my heart and thought I had hardened to the point of no return. In three short months, 3 DK years, you have managed to tear down my walls and reached my core. I seriously get teary-eyed at times and cannot believe how much you have infected me in such a short period of time. My heart skips beats and I feel comfortably vulnerable when I am with you. It is scary.
I had accepted being happy with loving friends and family around me, but I no longer believe this. I believed I could do incredible things if I had someone strong and supportive beside me. I believed it was me against the world; born alone die alone; I have to do everything by myself; I cannot depend on anyone; trust in anyone will result in disappointment; people only love what I can do for them, but don’t love “me”. You have corrected my misguided beliefs and realize the issue was the people I let into my life.
Our relationship has made me rethink the future. It’s no longer about work/business ventures, but rather my new found happiness… Spending my time with YOU!!! I don’t know where this journey is going to take us, but I know one thing for sure, I ONLY want to be on it with you.
I will be presumptuous in that I won’t scare you away by telling you from my heart—
I am falling in love with you Ms. Cain.
I love you my Kandi Cain…
