"becoming an old favorite.  It was a Saturday night and I was already happy.  I was going to spend some quality time with someone who was very dear to my heart.  We enjoyed quite a show and many laughs.  I remember laughing so hard that night, that my face hurt by the end.  Well, we left completely satisfied and I was on cloud nine.  What I was hoping was that she knew exactly how much I appreciated what she had done for me.  She had had to go through a tough struggle just for us to be together.  I only hoped she knew just how much I appreciated that.  Well, at any rate, as we left the performance art theater to head back to the car, we enjoyed a light conversation.  We decended the stairs to the waiting street below and somehow, she ended up partially in my arms.  Quite a shock to both of us, you bet!  Well, as we regained ourselves, we locked hands, fingers interlaced.  I was in Heaven.  I wondered to myself if she could notice the grin I held on my face, for it stretched from ear to ear I am sure.  Well, the ride home was equally pleasing, for I guided us through the streets onto the freeway where I proceeded to ask her for her hand.  She gave it, willingly, and I took it warmingly.  I raised her hand to my lips and kissed it gently.  I thanked her for joining me that evening and smiled deeply.  I know she appreciated that, because I saw it in her eyes.  Well, that would bring me to the point of this conversation I suppose.  The letter was from her, yes it was, but my reaction to it was both unexpected by myself and at the same time, refreshing.  You see, instantly, I fell head-over-heels in  love with her.  Sure, I had had feelings for her up to this point, but they had never seen this much energy.  I loved her before this night, and I knew I would always, however...something about that night just clicked.  It was like the machine powered by passion that dwelled inside my heart finally got the kick-start it had been waiting for since...well, let's just say for a little while.  At any rate, she was the key.  She unlocked my heart again and my love began to pour freely out into the open.  That's why I immediately sat down to write her a reply.  I wanted her to know how much I love her.  I wanted her to see that I absolutely will love her, unconditionally, for the rest of my life.  I've never know such absolute truth in my life.  For once I find myself asking, "Where did I go right?"
