Letter from an open heart

Dear Loni,

You're a vision, you know that. And some, a lucky few, get to call you their friend. Even fewer, those who are blessed in this life, get to call you a close friend.

I'm writing this to you hopefully as someone blessed enough to call you the latter...and as someone who can go beyond that.

Do you wonder at night if you would find the love of your life, whether he would be by your side when you turn, perhaps place a soft and loving kiss on your forehead? Do you ever feel like you're missing out on something, but can't place your finger on what it is?

I do.

Only thing is, I think I found her. The person I want to spent the rest of my life with. She's funny, smart, beautiful in every way, If someone asked me what her flaws were, I'd stare at them with a blank face. Do you know who it is?

It's the person I'm writing to.

Don't be surprised, and Don't say "Why me?" because I'd only reply "why not?"

I've actually liked you for a long time now, I've always held my tongue, afraid of what might happen if I did say something...until now.

I'm ready to take the chance. I don't care if the plane winds up crashing into the mountain side in flames, I still want to be in the cockpit, taking off and getting that rush of exhilaration when things work out. And if things don't...well we can say without regrets that we tried, that we dared to take the chance.

Whether your answer is yes or no, I still want to know.

There's an old quote that's been passed down from time to time: "Sometimes it takes 2 scared people to do one brave thing: to fall in love".

Well I'm scared. Are you?

I love you.

Love
Z
