We'll always have Paris...

Since the moment I met you, I knew I would be forever by your side. What I didn't expect was that 'love' would be this easy for us.

Before meeting you, it took me a long time to feel sustained happiness, and when I thought I knew enough about it you showed me what true happiness means. I love you exactly as you are: kind, smart, and courageous. You love what I love, but despite wishes or desires what I love the most in this whole world is you. I want all of you, forever, every day. You and me…every day(*).

I fell in love with Paris years ago, but as it is common in you, you increased my devotion to this city even more. We had the stars, you and I. And this is given once only(**). You made my dreams come true, starting with Paris.

No human nor time will take away the happy days we spent here. Life will surprise us, and challenge us -as it is supposed to be- but you must know, surely you must know we’ll always have Paris (***).

How do you dare to convert my life into one of my stupid romantic silly movies that I used to watch knowing they were not real?. It's ok. I forgive you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on (****).

So, today you asked me: "Would you marry me?". Well... "Yes. A thousand times, yes" (****).

With Love,
