"The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him, if he were really here?
Forgive me, I have never known this feeling . . . I've lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, that I failed to recognize you? You . . . who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say . . . I cannot find the words. Except for these. . .
I love you.
Such would I say to him,. . . if he were really here."
