“How can I describe how much I love you?Is it even possible to describe a love like that? I don’t know, but as Isit here with pen in hand, I know that I have to try.”

“It'll be hard, but life moves fast-we'll see each other again. I know that. I can feel that. Just like I can feel how much you care for me and how much I love you”

“They're beautiful. How did you know I loved roses?""I didn't, but I've never heard of a woman who didn't, so I took a chance."She smiled. "So you send lots of women roses?""Millions. I have a lot of fans. Dive instructors are almost like movie stars, you know.""They are, huh?""You mean you didn't know? And here I thought you were just another groupie.”
