It's difficult to know how to begin a letter to someone like you, so please forgive my clumsy words. Writing feelings is not nearly as easy as feeling them!

Anne... your name, it fits you so very well. Simple yet elegant, beautiful and enigmatic, unassuming yet possessing a strong, poised presence. You are all of these things, and you have captured my mind and my heart. Your smile is a gift, your laugh is a treat, and I am grateful for every day that I see you.

I see you walking sometimes, on campus, and you stand apart from the crowd as surely as a single red rose in a field of white. You move with a grace that others cannot imitate. Anne, what a special and unique person you must be.

I have looked into your eyes and seen them swim with passion, feeling and purpose. I see kindness, intelligence and radiance behind their beautiful blue. Your skin is smooth and lovely, and your hair is like honey threaded with wisps of gold, when the sunlight catches it just right. Everything about you says what a classy, smart woman you are.

When you talk to me, I try to be witty, but end up sounding like a child! When you say my name, my face glows, and I can't help but smile. And I will never forget the innocent touch of your hand on my arm. What for you was but a second's kindness, I will remember for a lifetime. I will never forget you.

And who am I? I know you must surely be wondering. I am someone who adores you. I adore you for the wonderful, intelligent, kind person that you are. And I admire your adventurous nature, for coming so far from your home to teach us! Yes, I'm one of your students. I would sign this letter with my real name if it were not for that simple fact.

And you must be wondering why I'm writing this to you. It is simply because I wanted you to know how absolutely, thoroughly beautiful you are, and how much I adore you. I am not in the habit of writing letters such as this, but my heart could not stand another day of keeping my feelings locked inside. I hope that I have made you smile today! I expect nothing from you, and I send this letter on its way with all my warmest thoughts, encouragements, and sincerest words on these pages.

I am, completely, yours
