Dear Mike,

I remember a time when I felt so alone; the night seemed to cold and lonely to me. Black rain fell endlessly. I was certain that the sun would never shine again. I thought my destiny was to walk life's beaches alone. But then you entered my life, making all of my internal pain vanish like whispers in the night. And now you're here with me, and I'll never regret the rain, or the nights I felt alone. I'll never regret the many tears I cried, the things people said, the many lies, because all these things happened to bring me to you. Every road I had to take, and each time my heart would break only led me closer to you.
