I recently read a quote from Rob saying:"I'm looking for a girl with character. If I find her one day, do you know what I'll do? I am going to write her hundreds of love letters"
Since reading this, I've spent countless hours (that I'll never get back) dreaming about being that girl. I even began to imagine what a love letter from Rob would say (fun thought. Try it sometime) I became so enthralled with my parallel universe (the one where Rob and I are 'together') that I started writing responses to his imagined love letters *coughs*, but the blood loss was making me dizzy and that shit takes forever to dry, so In the end I thought it best to keep my written declaration of love to myself (that and I couldn't find anything to rhyme with 'bosom').
So, with Valentines Day just around the corner, and in the spirit of written correspondence, I thought I'd leave you with a few excerpts of the most beautiful sentiments of love ever committed to paper.
Read them in the spirit of love...
Read them and dream about inspiring this sort of passion...
Read them and dream about Rob...
Read them (slap me) and tell me to get a life...

Happy Valentines Day
Love,
Tess
