Take Good Care of My Baby

by Neil Sedaka.

To my best friend's future wife, (by two hours)

Hi there, we've never met before, and i don't really know you, but what I know is that you're the luckiest girl today. For today, you'll be marrying a wonderful, sweet, caring, and loving guy...

Anyway, I think you should know that by now, that he's one hell of a great guy... He's really not that hard to figure out. Just be familiar with this 3 golden rules; 1) Dont let him be without food when he's hungry. 2) Don't let him get too tired and 3) never let him be without you for too long. Remember this and you should be fine :) All he needs is love actually. Just give him the attention that he needs and deserve. He has come a long way to be where he is today. Be there for him.

I guess I should say stuff like if you hurt him, ill hurt you (but i really will). But I know nobody's perfect. And I know it's hard to be patient with him sometimes. There'll be times when you would feel him being distant to u. Do not push him. Give him some space. He'll come running back to you when he's ready. At times you'll feel like he doesnt get you. But he does, he just pretends that he doesnt. I dont know, its a guy thing i guess. He's sensitive too, please dont change that bout him, thats what makes him special. He's not good at expressing things verbally, but if you pay attention to the littlest things that he does, you can actually feel it.

Today is the day that I have to give up my title as his bestfriend which i have been holding for 8 years, to you. You're the most rightful person for the job. He's all yours now.

So anyway, you probably hate me more now for this letter, well I dont mean anything by it. I just hope you'll take good care of our man, and treat him right, for he only deserves the best of everything. All I'm saying is that in the future, if ever you should discover, that you don't really love him, to quote Neil Sedaka in his song, please, just send my baby back home to me...

Sincerely,
Me.

Forbidden Affair.

From a novel I love...

"...And I smiled. Ofcourse I smiled. He's coming. I arrived at the airport at 1 am, and chose a bench in front of the French cafe to sit and wait for him. The place was quite secluded. People can be seen sleeping on nearby benches, while waiting for their connecting flights, just like me. I read "Eat, Pray, Love" just to pass the time, although i kept reading the same line over and over again. Apparently it's hard to concentrate when your heart is pounding rather quite loudly. Half an hour later, he texted me saying that he had arrived. Moments later I saw him walking towards me, and just like that the world died down for awhile, and all i could see was him. My heart forgot to do what it was made to do. As he came nearer, I felt at ease again. It was always like this. He sat next to me on the bench, and we chatted like old friends do. About 15 minutes into the conversation, he took my hand in his, sending unnecessary blood supplies to my cheeks. I immediately melted in his arms. Everything of mine fits with him. Every inch of me felt like a compliment to his. It felt so right, like this is how it should be. Then it was almost morning, he looked really sleepy. I offered my lap for him to rest his head, and he took it. It was all so romantic and sweet. He looks comfortable enough, lying there, while i ran my fingers through his hair. I couldnt asked for more. He fell a sleep moments later, for one whole hour, I could barely feel my legs anymore, but I was so afraid to move, afraid that he would wake up. I dont want this to end just yet. I watched him sleep, this is all so perfect. But all I could think of was "Why are you here with me? Why are you here when you know you're not mine? When you're going to leave me again soon. When you're going to hurt me again soon. Why do you hate me so much that you keep on hurting me. Come morning you'll be gone and leave me with yet another beautiful memory for me to cry over, alone." A tear escaped and I brushed it off quickly before it fell on his face and this turns into a fairy tale, or something. While he was sleeping, I continue on reading the novel in one hand, because the other was holding his on his chest..

...He woke up a while later. To have him wake up right in front of me is the greatest feeling ever. He kissed my hand and said Hey. I wanted to remember exactly how he looked like, knowing that this is as close as I can get to being with him. For a moment I pretended that he was actually mine. For a moment I pretended that he is without someone else and that Im the only one that he wants. For a moment I imagined that those eyes would only look at me that lovingly. I pretended for a moment, that the whole world gives us way to be together, just for one night. For a moment, I was deeply in love."
