It was as if I were in a new world--a world such as no one had ever been in before.

Oh, I knew, of course, that others had loved--but not as we loved.

I was sure that no one had ever loved as we loved.
And it was so much more wonderful than anything I had ever dreamed of--this love of ours.

Yet all my life since my early teens I had been thinking and planning and waiting for it--love.

And now it had come--the real thing.
