life before me

My love,
Isn't it so strange to look at someone and think they had a life before you, without you.
It almost just doesn't feel right to think that before you they loved, and cried, and thought about their future with other people.
So how was your life before me?
Who was the woman that you thought you would marry?
Who was your first crush?
It doesn't seem right that you loved someone so much and now you say you love me.
I know this may sound strange, but the other day I was stalking your Facebook page and I saw you giving flowers to a girl.
And I know you had a life before me, but it just doesn't seem right. It doesn't seem right to think that before me there were other women in your life that you thought were the most beautiful or to think that there were women in your life that you loved.
I asked if you had ever written a letter, but now I know you sent love letters to your ex wife. If this makes me a jealous person then okay, but I don't care because I love you and I don't want to imagine you loving anyone else. I want to believe our love is new and fresh and that you haven't felt this so intensely before. I don't want to know that nothing we do together is a first for you because you've already done it with another woman.
