Let us begin this letter this prelude to an encounter formally as a declaration in the old-fashioned way I love you. You do not know me although you have seen me smiled at me. I know you although not so well as I would like. I want to be there when your eyes flutter open in the morning and you see me and you smile. Surely this would be paradise enough. So I do declare myself to you now with pen set to paper. I declare it again I love you.
