Hello Kate,
It?s joe - we met at Andrew?s party.
I hope you don?t mind me getting your e-mail address from the e-mail
that Andy sent to us all; it is a bit sneaky of me.
It was wonderful to meet you on Saturday, and I wonder if you would
consider meeting me for coffee sometime; maybe at the Tate Modern?
OK. This is where my common sense is telling me to stop? keep it simple
and
positive joe.
And the probability of me listening to that voice? Experience has taught
me that it is not worth putting up a fight; I will end up giving in to
the part of me that never wants to find itself shaking its head and
muttering ?if only?'
This is the part where I throw caution to the wind; the part where I
listen
to my heart and remember that I should live my life as an exultation and
revel in the opportunity to try; the part where I refuse to apologize
for who I am; the part where I trust that the lady I met on Saturday
night is, as I suspect, able to see sincerity where others would see
clich .
I am fortunate enough to have been able to collect a number of special
memories. They are memories of moments that made any struggle leading up
to them worthwhile. They are memories of moments when I am struck by
something so beautiful, time stands still and all of the ugliness in the
world ceases to exist.
Your smile is the freshest of my special memories.
Regardless of whether we see each other again, I will use it as I do my
other special memories. I will call on it when I am disheartened or low.
I will hold it in my heart when I need inspiration. I will keep it with
me for moments when I need to find a smile of my own.
I am unsure of all my motives for sharing this with you and, if I am
honest, not ready to examine them too closely. However, I know that it
makes me feel good to believe that maybe, if you are ever upset, knowing
that I will be keeping your smile alive might help you through.
If you are half as intelligent and aware as I believe you to be, I am
sure that you will find what I have written, in the very least, sweet.
If I am twice as lucky as I would dare to hope, you will find this note
charming and agree to contact me and arrange a date.
Either way, I trust that your reply will be candid - you told me how
much you value honesty.
One last thing, I promise that it is enormously rare for me to stray as
far
from sobriety as I managed on Saturday night.
Be safe.
Joe

Anyone care to dismantle this little gem :yes:
