affection

while watching the mini-series, rome, i noticed that the characters had used the term affection to define their love for their beloved. it got me thinking of the feelings that i have yet to tell Sweetie. the way someone put it to me was, if she was just a friend, I would not have flown all the way to Shanghai to visit her. which is true, moments with Sweetie have always been of joy to me. if only there is someway i can make know to her my feelings and affection for her.
