* In a sense, Christopher inspired me to write this, although it is a different style.


Dear Cupid:

      I know that I said I would wait as long as it takes to meet the right man for me, but patience is no longer my virtue.  Understand that I don't want someone just to say that I have someone.  I am not desperate at all, well, at least that's what I keep telling myself.  And, don't get me started on Valentine's Day.  Need I remind you about the many Valentine's that I have spent alone, with empty arms.  I want love, is that too much to ask of you?  So, here, take my little black book for all I care.  Create for me a love potion, if you will, I'll take anything.  I am ready to be swept off my feet, I want the walks along the beach holding hands, the candle light dinners, the love letters, the long stem red roses, the chocolates and love poems even, I want to hum Celine Dion and Barry White songs, I want that butterflies in the stomach feeling, for my knees to tremble and for my heart to skip a beat.  I long to hear those beautiful words "I love you,"  I want to be Cinderella and he, my prince, I want romance and the fairytale and I want it to last.  I just want to love and be loved. I beg of you, Cupid, find me a phenomenal man.  Someone who is tall, dark and handsome, someone who will make me smile and laugh, who will respect me, someone who will stand by me when the road is long, who will hold me close when the night is too cold, someone who is intelligent, compassionate, charming, understanding and who appreciates all things in life, someone who will love me for me and still think that I am the most beautiful woman in the world, someone who will climb over the walls that I have built around me, and love me even when I do not love myself, someone...anyone who will actually learn to love me...me?  Now that would be a phenomenal man.  If one even exists.  I just want you to pull my dream man out of my dreams and bring him to life for me.  Understand Cupid, that I am not requesting a perfect man, and know that I don't need a wealthy man or a GQ model, I just want a good man, I just want my soulmate.  I want the kind of love that just comes naturally, like breathing.  I want a spiritual connection with someone, for him to know me, I mean to really know me completely, who knew my dreams, my secrets, who knew what kind of toothpaste I used, who knew what my favourite colour was, someone who even knew my little annoying habits, but who still adored me anyway.  I want someone who knew every single thing about me, whom I could be 100% comfortable with, but also get weak in the knees at the same time when I gaze into his eyes.  I want passion and a lover and a best friend.  Now tell me, is that truly too much to ask?  I know, Cupid, I know, I have all the time in the world to meet him, I know that I am young, that there are plenty of fish in the sea, but, you see Cupid, I just don't want to wait anymore.  Instead of being struck by your arrow, falling madly in love, I am left hopeless, only yo be pierced in the heart.  I know that I can't tell you how to do your job, but, please hurry Cupid, I don't want to be lonely anymore.  I just don't want to be alone.

Sincerely,

Melissa

A heart felt plea. Well done!
