An Old Email Written After Our First Date

Right after our first date, my wife sent me an email to let me know she had strong feelings for me. This was my reply.

"Ditto. I was going to write you this long creative fairy tale about an owl that falls in love with a crow at a tea-house. They have all these cool adventures ... the owl shows the crow the night, and the crow shows the owl the day. But eventually they both migrate in opposite directions and wind up going their own way. The crow resumes collecting shiny objects and the owl resumes hunting mice and they die bitter, lonely and sad ... strangely they are both killed by hawks. But your way is much, much easier. I like you too."
