Quote: I'm therefore going to force myself to write a list of the 20 things I like best about her (body parts don't count!), I'm going to pray for her in a much more in-depth manner (not just that she'll dump OM), I'm going to stop judging her (internally), and I'm actually going to write some love poetry for her (and keep it to myself for now).
This is an excellent game plan as far as your WAW is concerned. The only suggestion I would make is along with the 20 positive things, you also consider the negative things just so you are balanced in perspective.
You will find all too often on this website, LBS's that are blinded by the rejection of their WAW's that they delude themselves into believing that their WAW's now possess a beauty of mythical proportions. It's like, they were OK before they left and when they do walk out, they are awarded the status incredible beauty. It is irrational, it is 'addict in withdrawal' behavior and it is delusional and unhealthy. I'm just saying this more as a forewarning. This is not a trap you want to get sucked into.
The poety is a good idea too provided that she don't see it for now. When you write it, try not to personalize it. Use the feelings that you have for your WAW but make it generic.
