Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one
that overwhelms logic and common sense. That is what it's like for me. I
didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt that you planned on
falling in love with me.
But once we met, it was clear that neither of
us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our
differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.
For me love like that has happened only once, and that is why every minute
we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a
single moment of it.
