Dear Casey,
Fifteen years ago, I started a new job and met my true love that day. From the instant we were introduced, I knew Roger was someone special. Slowly, we got to know each other and dated sporadically over the next three years. I was never able to tell him how I REALLY felt. Eventually, I moved away without telling Roger. But a little over a year later, he tracked me down. I couldn't believe it, and we picked up right where we left off as though no time had past at all. And then once again, I ran away. Another 2 years went by before I decided to track him down. And before I knew it, we were back in sync again. I tried to tell him how I felt, but the words wouldn't come. I was still too afraid. If I told him how I felt & he didn't feel the same way, I could not take that crushing blow to the heart. Casey, it's now been another 8 years & I don't know where he is, but I do know that true love never dies. So could you please play "When I See You Smile" and send it out to Roger somewhere in the U.S.A. from Ruth in Ohio? If I ever see him again, maybe then I'll be able to say what I should have said so long ago. Thank you Casey.

When you get right down to it, (you know) we're jerks."
