Dear eno,

I would have to start this letter to you by saying this is indeed a confession of my feelings. We’ve known each other for about four years now so I feel that it is time you know the truth. I love you, Eno. You are my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye. I love spending long afternoons wrapped in the cocoon of your fabric. I never want to leave you. I truly believe we were made for each other.

I remember the day you were given to me as a wonderful gift. You were an extravagant navy trimmed in magnificent gold. Your beauty only gets better with age.

When we are together I feel like I am at one with the trees around me. You bring me closer to the clouds and the wonders of nature. There is nothing like resting peacefully suspended between two beautiful trees with the first fall breeze coming through the air with the promise of crisp leaves and lazy afternoons. There is none like you, Eno. You should know that you are special. You complete me.

I love spending time “hanging” out with you. I also love spending time with my friends while “hanging” with you. You bring a smile to everyone’s faces everywhere you are. It’s like your presence between two trees just beckons people to come forward and talk. This results in long afternoons spent close to friends and having wonderful conversations about the weather and how nice the day is today. It’s so easy to lose track of time when we are together.

When I don’t want other people joining us, I love how I can just wrap your polyester arms of solitude around me and revel in a cocoon of happiness. You are the perfect remedy to a long day. You are my favorite place to spend quiet time in the Bible. The gentle sway back and forth as the breeze gently blows brings serenity and peace to my day.

Eno, I remember the first day I met you. I took you out to my backyard and hung you up between two tall majestic trees. It was fall and the leaves were orange and crisp. I brought a blanket and just laid there for hours staring at the clouds. It was such a wonderful day.

For so long I have loved you, Eno. I felt that it was wrong of me to contain my feelings any longer. I want you to know that my love is true and I will never abandon you. Thank you for always being there for me.
