Hi Casey,
I'm writing about a very special man. Tim and I met in 1995 at work. We were in our early 20's. Tim was handsome, silly, and very sweet. From the very beginning I knew we had a certain kind of chemistry that I couldn't explain. We started going to lunch together, and everyday we would sit, eat, laugh, smile, and talk about anything & everything. I was falling in love with Tim, and he was falling in love with me. We started dating, and even though it would short-lived, I had the time of my life. I really loved the person that I was when I was around him. But, I got scared. I couldn't believe I was falling in love at such a young age, and somehow things fell apart & Tim moved away. In the years since, I've been through 2 marriages, but never did I feel the way I felt about Tim. My 2nd marriage was very hard on me. I lost who I was. It was right at that time, Nickelback's "Far Away" came out and immediately I knew it was time to find Tim. When we talked, Tim reminded me of who I used to be & just like that, I was in love all over again. Casey: Our jobs, kids, and everything else keeps us from being together face-to-face right now. But, I want him to know I still love him everyday, even though he's far away.
