Dear T,
It was love at first sight, definitely.
The moment our eyes met at the bookstore, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck me - instantly I knew it was you.
No dashing appearance, your charm is subtle. Quietly and composedly you sat there, eyeing passers-by ever so coolly. True, when one has real substance, there is no need to grab for attention. Intrigued and fascinated, I got home and dug out facts about you. The more I learn about you, the more convinced I am that you are the one. You have all the qualities I desire, in fact you have more to offer than I would ever dreamt of.
The timing you came into my life could not have been better. My ex just deserted me. In desperation I got a substitute, an old weary common one. That is definitely not my cup of tea. From the very first moment I knew the relationship would not last. It is only a matter of time.
I am aware of the price I have to pay. But for you, I shall surrender it willingly and gladly. It is nothing, nothing at all, if it would bring you to me.
I would love to take you home at once, so that I could take a good look at you when there are just the two of us. I shall stroke you, ever so tenderly, and hear you serenade me to sleep every night.
Soon you will be mine. We are destined for each other. Be patient, my dear, and wait for me. There is no need to rush. The waiting will only make our reunion even sweeter.
Yours truly,
L.S.
