I feel the time must come to run
But I cannot run alone
Will you run with me?
Will you come with me when I run?

Bow down deep to your heart’s desire
And listen a moment there
For the echo that defines your emptiness
For the partner that is not there

It’s a raw wound that you hide
A sick pleasure at times, to be sure
But wrapped around a nightmare
That festers inside
While you pine away the days
Waiting for the one
Craving the one
That will make you whole

The one who will hold you
The one to console you
The one to believe in
Who believes in you
The one who adores you
The one you adore too
The one who has waited for you.

It’s a long shot
It’s Disneyland after midnight
Bleak is what it is
Without a someone that matters
Cold is only cold, but solitude stings
With a chill that hits that tender spot inside
That genuine piece of you inside
That you’ve been saving for a rainy day
That’s been waiting so long for a partner.

Mine waits there too.

Beautiful, kind Sir.



What is the particular gift this day has given me?
Who have I loved, and have I dared to love them
as well as I could?
Have I contributed to the well-being of another,
have I enhanced their sense of dignity
or expanded the possibilities
of their lives?
Have I flown as close to the fire
at the heart of the mysteries of love
and knowledge as I dare?
And of everything I have received,
have I given anything back?

In your case, dear Lady..yes you have. More than anyone could ask for. You have filled my days with song, love and understanding..there are no words to express my gratitude. These days are like magic. As I told you this morning, I feel reborn. Truly, I am improving day by day..coaxed along toward redemption and restoration of my character by your gentle ways.

From the bottom of my heart, and straight from the depths of me, I thank you. Investing my days in repayment for this priceless gift, is all I can do. I pray it's enough.

Love from
your devoted,
