I came upon you quite unexpectedly-there we were, striking up conversation about the silliest of topics. Two lost souls reaching out and grabbing hold of something intangible-one cannot put their hands on something so enormous. Time for confession-I told you things I have never shared with anyone before, and you listened, you actually listened, and gave me feedback and advice and sympathy. I was relieved to have someone like you to talk with-invigorating, enlightening, interesting, stimulating, sometimes maddening, frustrating, frightening, touching. But the conversations somehow have started to lessen, becoming more and more infrequent, and you grow more and more distant from me, involved in bigger and better things.

Consider this my Letter of Gratitude, my Love-

You came into my life at a time when I felt so empty and alone and scared and full of self-doubt. I had no one else to talk to, no where to turn, no place to hide from over-whelming feelings of isolation and despair. You have touched my life in such an incredibly wonderful way-you made me rediscover beauty and inspiration when I thought all was lost, you lifted my weighted spirit with your abstract humor and charming wit, you made me cry with your compliments and poetic words of flattery, you made my heart sing out loud with your beautiful words of romance, you made my soul smile when you shared intimate pieces of your life with me. I am truly a better person for knowing you and sharing you with this crazy mixed-up world; I am truly blessed for having some unknown force magically bring us together, if only for a brief period of time. For all of the above, I want to thank you from the very depths of my soul-you may find this all very insignificant, but I will never think that way.

Eternally grateful for knowing you, I will remember you in my heart always,
-B.
