A letter I never sent

I'm not gonna write you a love story, I'm gonna make one for us. You deserve that and plus I think it'll be kind of cool. I grew up watching really cheesy love films and hating them. In fact I used to completely abhor them. My favorite book in middle school was Animal Farm because it introduced me to the idea of a story telling another story within itself. Things having a deeper meaning. Because of my adoration I wanted this book to be number 1. But upon my research I saw that The Great Gatsby was holding that title for this particular area of literature. Surely then it must be some amazing story then? It was a love story.

And I scoffed, how could something so mundane be better than my Animal Farm. Looking back I was young and dumb. Now I see the magic that's described in a love story, now I'm a die-hard fan of these stories. I dare say I love them. And now I want to recreate them. I'd like someone whose house I run to with a boom box under my arm playing a song in the middle of the rain. I want someone to steal a blue french horn for.

Now let me state, I'm not looking for a damsel in distress. Sure every now and then I'd like to ride gallantly in as the knight in shining armor and save you, but a great story has multiple strong characters. A great hero needs a great heroine. Sometimes she will save me. Sometimes she will save herself and vice versa. We should be a team who tackles challenges together through synergy, we amplify one another.

But back to those stories. I wish to recreate those grand romantic gestures with you and the subtle ones. From late night masquerades which end in a slow song to a simple loving conversation where we fall asleep on one another. All I want to do is be with you on this crazy adventure we call life because through our companionship, we will find new adventure.

But as it is all too abundantly clear, we cannot do so without both of us being in agreement. It takes two to tango. But if you're interested, I promise that this will be the start of a grand adventure. I hope that you share my sentiment, but I do not blame you if you don't. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

And I'm sure you're wondering who this is for dear reader, well I'll tell you that she'll know when she reads this. Although I wouldn't put it past me that this isn't just a fake out. No matter how I safeguard my intentions, I hope you've enjoyed this peek into my head.
