，　or　even　my　future　girlfriend，　I　had　absolutely　no　idea.　She　was　some　girl　I　hadn’t　met，　so　I　just　treated　her　as　a　listeo　my　heart.

    What　happeer　was　an　abrupt　twist.　One　dark　and　windy　night，　our　friendship　became　a　love　caught　on　fire　because　of　my　not　bad　singing.　On　an　impulse，　I　whispered　to　her，　“Tell　you　the　truth，　all　my　life，　I　am　looking　for　someone，　with　her，　we　could　bee　happy　for　the　rest　of　our　life.”
