The NITE

Dear Baby

	Things are going really well. I have seen alot, so I have much to tell. 
Yester day this guy approached me, and asked could I be his lady. I told him 
that I got a man and walked away nicely. He called my name and said "what cha 
man got to do with me? I said it would be okay if we we're friends, but he said 
NO! That I will be his woman foe show. Well,try! See if you can lead my astray. 
The love I have for my Boo, nothing can stand in the way! He then smiled and walked
down through the park. Then later just as it was getting dark. He came by with a 
strang look in his eyes. He gave me a dozen roses and a box of candy. I sat them 
on the dresser and said I aint the ordinary lady. I told him that you did that too.
I put him out, You don't have to worry Boo. For a week I did not hear from that young man.
Until one day at a football game, standing at the top of the stands. He I tried to get his
attention, but he just ignored me. Then, the marching band came out and doing something
unexpectically. They played my favorite song by BOYZ II MEN "I'm Down On Bended Knee"
Then, I looked up he was gone. He was on the field singing "PLease Don't Go Away From Me"
Baby, I was so shocked I could not resist. So, I told him NO and said my man can do better
then this. So, he said okay.  I'm down to my last try. And If I don't get you this time
I will walk out of your life. He kissed me and said "It is destine for you to be my wife."
So, he walked away and I had not seen him for quite a awhile. I mean I would see him every 
so often but he would just say hello and smile. So, I figure he had given up. Until one day
while checking my email a new messege had popped up. It said "Go to Union at 10pm and where
a nise dress." So, I rushed to do it, because baby I looked a messed!! As I arrived to my 
room a giant box was on my bed. "I wonder who this is from?" Was going through my head.
I opened it up and what did I see? A dress specail made for my body. On the dress was a 
note that read "look on the floor." I said Oh shit, theirs more! It was a medium size.
Inside was shoes and a perse to match the dress; Now that's a surprise.I arrived at exactly 
ten. A note was on the door that read "Don't be afraid just walk in." I came in and there 
were some arrows. All alined in a crooked row. Another note at the end read "Go down below."
Baby, like a fool I went anyway. As I was walking down the stairs I was thinking on what I 
was goin to say. So, as I made it to the bottom of the staires a note read "I have been 
expecting you. Grab the golden box on the table and the double doors, you walk through."
As I begain to go to the doors and shaking the box. a note fell out and read "Please stop!"
I turn it over because an arrow pointd that way. It read "Charlene, Baby this is your day."
I passed through the doors and their was a beautiful gold tables and gold chaires and gold
candles all around me. I felt like I was in a fairy tale story. I had on the most beautiful
gold and tan dress with crystal clear shoes. The lights of the candles and the the sparkle 
of my dress just lite the room. It was light magic, evrything was right. And just I was about 
to sit down he appeared in my site! There he stood wearing a white three piece suit with the shirt, 
shoes, hankerchief, the hold suit was trimmed in gold! Baby the way he looked! It made me want to 
lose control. He slowly walked over to me and said "Baby you are my world! And tonite..." then gave
me a kiss! Just as I was about to say something, he put his finger over my lips and said 
"Nall baby, don't say a word I don't want you to miss this!" He took me by the hand and led me outside
There was a cariage of gold and white, even the horse, waiting by the curb side. He held my hand led me
in, and said "baby your nite is about to begin." We went for a ride all over Urbana-Champaign, Under the 
the watching eyes of the sky. We came to a stop, he looked at me and said are you afraid to fly? I said no.
I have never been inside a plain before. As he helped me out of the cariage, there was a gold carpet on the 
ground floor. As I steeped on to the plain four men were play the most soft, soul touching music that you 
could really feel. And two gasses half fulled was the seal. He asked what is the one place I want to go.
I noded My head and said "I don't know." He ehld me in his arms and said "I know where I can take you too."
I asked him where, he said "don't worry just enjoy the view." He held me tight inside of his arms and close
to his chest. I knew from just that he was the best! Baby, don't get made just listen to what I have to say.
Okay? Anyway! Now we wound up in New York! The middle of downtown. Baby Ooos and Ahhs were the sounds. 
I felt like I was royalty. He knew this little bit so far had made me happy. But he knew he did not close the deal.
He knew that my love for you was still real. So, We went into one of the most beautiful resturants that came into my sight.
Baby, as we walked in a section that read "Charlene's Nite." We ate food I had never heard of and danced the nite away.
All the songs of BOYZ II MEN were at play. We went back to the plain and I'm thinking this nite was to an end. On the plain
dressed in white and gold, was BOYZ II MEN! They song all of my favorites by them and other artisits all the way back home.
And to top it off he sang a song. He sang "We must be in Love."Something I ahve not heard in a long time, but he put something
on my mind. I started to feel something going through my heart, passing into my soul, and with the closing of my eyes the feeling
was complete. OH baby! The feeling was very deep. As we got off the plain a limousine was waiting. You know it was white trimmed in
gold too. I turned looked him in the eyes and said that's my BOO. We went back to my place and what was waiting on my bed was a 
night gown and the color was gold. He told me to put it on and grad the silk white shaw cause I will be cold. We went off to Chicago
and was in the Hyatt Regency hotel. I said oh Well! what the hell! We were at the very top and was waiting for me. Was a GOLD TEN KARAT
DIAMOND RING, carried by a monkey. He picked me up and carried me to the bed. Layed me down gently and kissed my forehead. He layed beside
me and I took it from there, and the rest of that Night I will not share. But, baby I came to tell you this. That I still Love you. 
BUT YOU WILL BE MISSED!


						Do you take her to be your wife?

						I DO
						I now bound you together for life
						I now pronounce you Man and Wife.
