I'd like to fill your "e-mail"
with flowers, with stars, with smiles and with all sorts
of meaningful words you deserve. I'd like to put in
it all the hearts that love you unconditionally. Finally,
we would have a very intimate party, to celebrate the
happening. I'm being pretentious, I know, but I really
want all this, because I wish you well.
To be
original, I didn't buy you a present. The stores never
renovate their stocks and birthday cards never change!
Everything is always the same … so repetitive! And also
because, poor little me, I wouldn't even be able to
send it to you. So, I decided to give something nobody
else can give you, because it cannot be found in a store,
doesn't fit in an envelope and doesn't exist in the
card selection of the web: my birthday present!

It's the most precious thing I
have, because it is a little bit of myself. It's a little
key that opens the safe inside me, where you may find
all that is pure, true, sacred and personal. This little
key is not of gold, but has immense value because it
comes wrapped with the earnest desire of seeing you
always happy, without ever being a burden on you. If
you wish, you may call it "FRIENDSHIP" (or, even more
appropriately, "LOVE").

Let
the happiness I wish you today be with you ever and
ever! How good it is that you exist. How nice it is
that you're important to me. And how wonderful it is
to be in the list of those you care for. If you didn't
exist in my life, there would be an enormous emptiness
inside me, in time and in the world!
I am sure
that God himself endorses, smilingly, all that I have
just written down!
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE!
