in my wildest dreams could i ever imagine anyone as perfect as you are could
you -- if only for a moment -- think of our being together forever what a cruel joke

apart with great sadness john p.s.: i would like to tell you that i love you i can't
stop thinking that you are one of the prettiest women on earth
