Sam and Emma: A Love Story in Emails - 17

My Dearest Emma,
In your last email, you are beginning to sound a bit more upbeat. I am very happy that you are beginning to explore what your other options are at this point.
As you know, when I was going through therapy, there were some very rough stretches of time for me. Making radical changes in one's life is not a lot of fun. The way I got through those periods was just to take things one day at a time. I only tell you this is to give you an option. I also know you do not like to be told what to do, so please know I am only making a suggestion for you to consider.
The other day, I was remembering the times we met at Borders or went out to grab a bite together. Or just talked over coffee at IHOP. Those were such good times. Memorable. And when I go to some of those places now, I can picture the two of us there. Do you know when I fell in love with you, I was on a high for probably 18 months. I couldn't wait to see you. I couldn't wait to be with you. I found myself saying the things that you hear is very sentimental songs. You know, given who I was... who I am, I was living on the edge, living dangerously and loving it. I discovered that it is addictive to live that way and I felt so incredibly alive.
It felt good to fall in love for the second time in my life. But the thing about falling in love is that the "high" that goes with it, eventually goes away. A chemical thing in our brain, I have read. But even now, a part of me still misses the rush... the way I felt when we were together.
I hope you can get a handle on your money issues. Actually I have to do the same thing.
So, write me soon and let me know if the Iowa thing is something that can enable you to return to the US sometime soon.
Tons of love,
Your Sam
