Midnight Romance
by The Midnight Lover aka Mr. T
My darling sweetheart,
I hope you do not mind my calling you "my darling sweetheart." But I'm a very romantic person and am writing this to someone, somewhere who is of a kindred spirit. She feels as I do that there is still love and romance in the world, perhaps not enough of it, but still it lives and may blossom and grow if but we give it a chance. Should this be true, then maybe we will become best of friends, grow closest and one day marry.
Perhaps you are wondering who I am. You probably wonder what I look like and what I do for a living. Perhaps those are important questions and no doubt you will come to know the answers should you be so curious. But for now I prefer to be just the "Midnight Lover," someone you might imagine and wonder about in the quiet of the evening.
Of course there are a few important facts you should probably know about me from the very start. First I am single, so should you invest any of your valuable time and emotions in me, your heart felt thoughts and feelings will not be wasted. I am someone who will cherish your every wish and desire, endeavor treat you with dignity and respect, seek to contribute to your happiness and satisfy your deepest desires. So the prospest and possibilities for a relationship are not limited by other commitments. I am available for friendship, a closer relationship or even marriage should the right girl come along.
Ah, but how can anyone say this and speak true? This would only be true should we become best of friends and perhaps lovers. Why one might be able to say such a thing with respect to their soul mate, but this could not be true between strangers. That, is exactly right. But you see, I am not writing to a stranger; I am writing to my soul mate, someone who will know from my thoughts that my heart speaks true and be drawn into deepest embrace.
So these thoughts may not apply to you. They certainly do not apply to everyone. But maybe you are that someone special who can feel my heart and seek to know the man who wrote these words. For these words are just words without the one in your arms who speaks them; and least we come to be in each others arms, it matters not what is spoken here, whether you believe or not believe in what I feel or think. This only matters should we share a common desire to one day grow closer, to be friends and perhaps lovers; to even marry.
What determines our desire? Do we share the same desire? Do you want someone to love and cherish? If the answer is, "Yes," then do you have any idea who this person might be? Do you believe in love at first sight or love at first "byte?" What goes in determining if two people who have never met can possibly fall in love, become best of friends, companions, lovers, even husband and wife? Is it some mystical chemistry between their hearts, minds and souls? Or is this impossible to say?
Now I don't know you and you don't know me. Maybe you don't even want to fall in love. Maybe you don't even want to risk the hurt and the heart break one must be willing to risk to love. This I do not know. But I've loved before and know how to love. I believe love is a wonderful experience and I hope to find someone to share my love with. It may be you or it may be someone else. All I can promise is that should you come to love me, I'll love you with all my heart, mind and soul and endeavor to keep loving you forever.
Now I know forever is a long time. We will probably both die long before forever arrives. Even our children's children will die before forever arrives. So perhaps I should not talk about love forever. Perhaps I should just say my heart will love you until the day it stops beating; until the day I take my last breath; until the day I look into your eyes no more and perish from this world.
So why am I telling you this, I a perfect stranger, and you someone who know me not? It is simply because I believe in love. I believe that to know love you have to be willing to risk everything for someone else. Since I've loved before I know this is true. It is hard to do. But I want you to know I'm willing to risk my heart in loving you.
When we pass strangers upon the street or see someone we might want to meet and talk with, we do not know anything about their heart or soul. We may gleam something from their dress or body language. But it takes time to get to know someone close, to see into their heart and soul. Sometimes it takes an eternity, especially if that person does not let you come inside them; does not open up to you and share their thoughts and feelings. Without the sharing of deepest thoughts and feelings, how can there be love?
In sharing these thoughts I hope you can see, or perhaps tell through your intuition, that I speak the truth. What matters most is the sharing, the giving, the being able to hold nothing back when it comes to love. I know I can do that as I've loved before. If you can do it too, then maybe we are not such stranger after all; or maybe we won't be for long.
All I ask is that should you find my words sincere and that there is something about me which intrigues you, that then you give me a chance to show you I am worthy of your friendship, of your affection, and perhaps even your love. Should this prove to not be the case we may happily both go along our merry ways, no hurt or harm done in the passing.
However, if you feel some "connection" may exist between us, then you are invited to submit an application for marriage. This will be kept strictly confidential and be used in consideration of you as a potential bride to be. Yes, I know this may seem an unusual way to find a bride. But let's face it, the Internet is a great way to meet people. Why should you pay some dating or match making service to try to find you a husband? It makes more sense for someone interested in marriage to take applications directly and charge a small fee for their consideration. In this way only serious applicants will apply. Therefore if you are seriously interested in marriage please apply directly to me, do not stop when you pass go :-) I will seriously consider your qualifications and experience as it relates to marriage just as if you were applying for a job. Then an interview will be scheduled, which may be done by phone or at a public place. Everyone who applies will be given equal consideration and treated with dignity and respect.
So, your future is up to you. This represents a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to change your life. Hope to hear from you soon!
Affectionately yours,
Mr. Midnight
