I first knew I loved you when I heard the song "Ever Falls the Twilight", and now that I'm in love, I feel alright asking you to put that song on your page. And now we are truly close and cuddly, I don't mind asking you to please go on tour or something--even though I am sure you have little babies and lives elsewhere.
I am truly your most devoted and loving fan, for the most part of all eternity,
I am not entirely sure, but I think that this is the part where I leave a short message about my graditude to you for choosing to accept the thought of me being a friend of yours. It would mean very much to me if it could. I'm sorry to say that I am physically not allowed to thank you and be totally honest. Honesty first, friendship second, emotions are dreams.
