Okay I got this one from listening to Celine Dion's song, I Love You, way too many times.

Rating : G kinda sappy.

  The Note 

I must be crazy! I have lived with you on this ship for seven years and not once have I had to tell you how I feel, till today.

Oh I know all the reasons why I shouldn't for one I am just asking for trouble , but as I stand here in front of your door where I have stood many times before, my body betrays me. It refuses to move. My stomach has never felt this queasy and I pray you don't open your door. I only want to run back to mine.

I am so deep in my inner conversation I don't notice you standing in your open door looking at me with your smiling blue eyes. You never say a word you just hand me a piece of ...paper? Where did you get

paper? It matters not. I am staring at my hand that holds it I am almost afraid to open and read it. Your hand comes back in my line of vision and opens it for me you put it back in my palm you just stand there . As I gaze deep into your eyes I notice for once I can't read them , I have no way of knowing what I am about to endure.

I blink and look down. I can't breathe I alternate looking at you and the paper. Your smile tells me I am not hallucinating I reach for you and you come easily into my embrace. There in the middle of your corridor I place my lips against yours for the first time but not the last.

When we part we are breathing deep just studying one another seeing if there was any mistake. We see only love shining back at us. I pull her farther out in the hall and yell for anyone to hear, "SHE LOVES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A group of officers and crewman that had been watching their first officer in his debate in the corridor let up a shout at his declaration. Within five minutes the entire ship had heard and were throwing a party in both holodecks.
