Can't Forget The Time or Place
My dearest Noel,
This may not be the most articulate letter I've ever written, but perhaps that won't matter so much to you. After all, aren't the emotions more important than the way they are expressed? That's what I've always thought about matters of the heart, even before I really understood what any of it meant. Now, I feel as though I understand far more than I ever thought I did before.
The day we met, everything I wanted to say was just a jumbled mess in my mind. Because of the times I'd been hurt in the past, I have to admit that I was very cynical when it came to letting someone into my heart again. I had built up a lot of walls that I was convinced would be nearly impossible to get through.
Even when I walked into that Starbucks to meet you as we'd planned, I was expecting to get no more out of the experience than a new friend, someone to talk to and hang out with outside of work. Nothing involving any kind of romance even started to cross my mind. Of course, I'd seen pictures of you in your own journal and in mine, but how was I supposed to know that, in person, you were going to be absolutely breathtaking?
I used to think that falling for someone so quickly was impossible, but I know from experience now that it's true. Perhaps we knew each other in another life, if you believe in that sort of thing. Whatever the explanation, if there even is one to be had, I already care about you too much to ever even think about letting you get away.
In fact, I'm not even sure that there are words that could properly describe how I feel for you, except the one that I still haven't said when talking about you -- love. I love you, Noel. And I'm not just saying it because I feel like I should. The moment you smiled up at me, it felt like my life was beginning again. Right then, you captured my heart.
Forever yours,
Damien
