My Lovely, Lovely Sir,
When I found you online, I also discovered a video of you playing a song on the piano. It has become my favorite due to the fact that it was the first time I ‘saw’ you again after so many years.
I watched your fingers glide across the keys. I studied your face. I ached to touch your hair where it lay against your neck. I couldn’t look away; I was mesmerized hardly believing it was really you. I felt like I held my breath until you played the last note. I watched it over and over and over. I thought I was going to wear out my speakers or a cruel box would pop up and tell me I’ve viewed the allotted amount of time and I would be cut off.
The world tipped for me that day. I was catapulted back to 1999. I couldn’t even put to words what I was feeling. I was too overwhelmed. I had proof that you were still out there in that great, big world. I just didn’t know what to do about it.
The song haunts me and seduces me. It fills my whole being and makes me tingle, because I know it’s you playing it. It brings tears to my eyes because of the emotions it elicits. I play it continuously. I am completely sweet on you, Sir.

Seductively yours,

My Melodic Darling
The money that I spent to cut that demo tape and have the video shot was worth every penny. It led you to me. Even though we had not spoken in over fourteen years I still thought that it might help you find me, and lo and behold it did.
I am humbled and flattered that you like it. If only there was a quality song that featured your own home state.
In terms of not knowing what to do about it, well I think you did. Look at us now.
Pianistically Yours
From Sir With Love
