Dearest,

I saw you today! You were so beautiful! You looked really good while you were walking down the hall. I followed you from behind, keeping enough distance so you wouldn't think that I was a stalker. Then, you suddenly stopped at the steps because it was raining too hard, and I saw my chance then.

I ran towards you, getting my umbrella out. I appeared by your side, and you looked at me and smiled. I entirely forgot what I was going to say! You kept on smiling at me, and looking back now, I'm pretty sure that you were wondering why I was staring at you the whole time while holding my umbrella up. Finally, I found the courage to ask you whether you wanted to share my umbrella. You smiled at me and said thanks?and my name.

Oh, miracle of miracles! You knew my name! I almost skipped with joy then, but keeping my composure (and my dignity), I smiled and just inclined my head. While we were walking down the steps, you lost your footing and you suddenly grabbed my hand to keep your balance. I felt faint. Of course, I remained strong and composed, and I held you steady while you composed myself. Then, you smiled at me and thanked me again. I'm pretty sure I heard a chorus from the heavens just then.

So, we walked in the rain, and thoughts were running through my head at the speed of light. Should I ask where you were off to? Where do you hang out? Would you like to have dinner with me? Will you marry me? There were so many questions, and I couldn't choose one to ask. Finally, I was about to settl on one when you suddenly turned to me and said that we've arrived, thanking me once again. Oh, curses!

As I watched you walk away, I knew then and there that I wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you. You, this beautiful girl who doesn't have an umbrella, this girl who loses her balance on wet steps.

I love you. I've loved you since the moment I first laid eyes on you. And I know I will love you forever. Give me a chance, just one, and I'll make you the happiest woman in the world.

Now, if I can only find the courage to send this to you.
