You Make Me Feel...
I have three days until Valentine's Day. I sit at my polished mahogany desk, Tchaikovsky thundering behind me, and ponder how to further woo Julie, the woman I'm falling in love with. I consider taking her out of town for the weekend, but a lack of funding precludes a trip. I could send her flowers if I hadn't sent her roses a month prior. Maybe I should take her out to dinner-- no, a simple dinner reeks of simplicity. "Hmm," I mumble, "what can we do that's romantic and doesn't cost very much?" It comes to me in a flash of insight: I can replay our first date. The plan crystallizes as our first date replays through my mind. We'll journey to the beach in the afternoon.

I'll write her a letter! A long, poetic sharing of how I care for her. After the sun sets, I'll give her the letter and watch her beautiful face as she reads it. I love to watch her lips move ever-so-slightly while she peruses the page.
