And you know, as far as I can see, this old notion that a bachelor's life was all about freedom, glamour, and endless fun — it's all absolute nonsense. For years, I thought it was meant to be carefree, filled with nothing but excitement and adventure. But truth be told, it was downright dull. Nothing, until you came along, that is.

   And as for 'romance'? Blimey, I had not gotten the faintest clue what that really meant. After I met you, I just thought, perhaps, I had skipped a heartbeat here or there, but that was about it. The moment I bumped into you, my dear, everything changed. Now, well, now it feels as though I've discovered something. You are, without a doubt, the most gorgeous, the most extraordinary creature of the human beings I've ever laid eyes on. I would never find another person like you, not if I looked for 100 years.

   What's this, you ask? I thought you'd have figured it out by now. I'm a fool for you. What an odd thing to say. Can't help it, love. I go all silly, a bit anxious when I'm near you. That is the way it is, when I'm around someone who's as wonderful as you. You have that effect on me, see? I can't help myself, try as I might. I'm utterly and completely gone, and it's your fault. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, dear.

   And let me tell you something, my darling — there's no turning back now. Whether it's morning, afternoon, or the dead of night, all I seem to need is for you to be right here, with me. Just for you to show up, like a dream made real. With the one who got lost in the maze of love, I suppose, I can't seem to find my way out — but honestly, I would not want to. If I could stay, be right here, in the deepest of your heart, I would.

   Tell me, have you noticed yet? Have you realised that all this madness, all this foolishness, is because I'm in love with you? Madly, deeply, utterly in love with you. The one and only you. There's no one else, no one who even compares to the you I adore. And I can't help but wonder, what did I ever do to deserve someone as extraordinary as you?

   Good heavens of all! You're more beautiful than I could ever describe. Your eyes, they sparkle like sapphires. I could only wish for the night to go on forever, just so I could keep gazing into them, getting lost in their grace.

   And I can't deny it, not for a moment longer. I love you. I love you more than life itself, more than anything in this entire world. Even if you were to forget me, to erase me from your memory completely, I would still love you. I couldn't help it. I just can't. It's the way my heart beats, the way my soul feels about you. I love you with every part of me — my scent of love, my darling.
