To her Father

If I had the chance to talk to you.

You might ask me what my intentions were with your daughter.

I would tell you.

I want her to be happy.

I think she deserves that much.

I believe I was put on this earth to make her happy.

I believe that is the reason I exist.

He would nod at me and tell me that those were pure intentions.

I would ask him if he believed in love at first sight.

I don't know what he would say, but...

I would tell him that was the way it was with her for me.

The first moment my eyes lay upon her.

I was in love.

This is the first written record of my admitting that to myself.

And to the world.

I wonder what he would say...

If he knew that you're all that I think about.

If he knew that you're happiness was my number one concern in life.

If he knew that I loved your more than I love breathing.
