Chapter 1: Prologue
Author's Notes:

PROLOGUE

Sept 4, 2002

Someone once told me "You don't know what you have till it's gone." And like other people, I used to believe that was true-seeing as how I used to date women, do them wrong, and THEN realize just how good they were for me. But that was all before I met you.

I swear from the first time I saw you, I knew there was something about you-something that made me want to get to know you better. And something that told me, in you, I'd find what I was looking for.

True love & happiness to be exact.

But uh...anyway, moving on I guess. I'm really not good with this stuff but my therapist (no one special-just Chris) says it wouldn't hurt just to write it all down..and you know..who am 'I' to disagree?

So um, anywhoo, I guess I should start off by telling you why I'm writing this after almost a year of no contact, huh?

Well..I guess the reason for that is because...well, I miss you.

I mean, I really..'really' miss you. And I can't help but think and dream about you all the time. From your hair, to your smile, to your sense of humor..and everything else about you. God, sometimes I even find myself praying to God that you and I will be reunited one day-just so I can see that smile of yours..or hear that feminine, yet subtle laughter that's known to take over you.

I'm sure you might not believe that, but it's true.

And you want to know something else that's true? It's the fact that I can't help it.

I just..I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm so lost and confused, and it's gotten to the point where I'm sitting here, writing this-this letter in hopes of clearing my mind, my head, and most importantly...my heart.

I know you'll never read this, but I guess what I'm trying to say, and what I'm trying to let you know is that... when I was with you I was something that I haven't felt in the longest time. I was something that I thought I could never find again..and I was something that you made me believe in.

I was happy..and it was all because of you.

My rescuer.
