Ah, I always get nervous for you. I know it’s absurd. Like watching someone treasured perform on the stage, and you’re clenching your program watching her, mouthing along. Not that you ever need it! I’m astounded by your ability, and your confidence, and your laser focus. I could use some of those gifts you have in abundance! My God, your eyes. They look different today – somehow even *more* alluring. There’s no *way* that’s even possible! I mean, pages have been devoted to writing about your wondrous eyes alone. This fire in them! You’re so at home. In your element. Ice and fire – you! The most magical combination! You’re like Johnny Carson – he was the focus, and not the guests. No slight on them! You’re the subject of adoration, no matter who it is you’re interviewing. My God, you’re so beautiful. I know I always gush, so I thought to myself, try to watch it objectively, as if I’m someone else. Someone not crazy in love or any of that stuff! What if I’m a first-timer just looking in. And I got it from that angle, too. It’s the energy of you. You set the mood. And the tone. Like a drummer, you create the rhythm. And you put your guest in that zone. Someone hugely successful, but not his job to work a room in quite the way you do. No one can do it like you! And you sense his zone. And you put him at ease. And whether it’s a CEO or a worker on the street, you get someone to respond from a place that feels comfortable for them. I could listen to you all day! I will say – on the 3-shot, you’re in the middle – and all eyes are locked in. Brian who?? You’re mesmerizing. You’re the most beautiful person in the world. It’s just unfathomable how breathtaking you are. I’m a little color blind like the guy who shares your last name (in that recent movie, that was said, I guess), but nevertheless, you light up the place in purple – or is it blue? I never get your eyes wrong, though! I swear they change in their hues. Crystal blue, and hints of other magic hidden in the prism throughout. Maybe someday you’ll send a little note. Even if simply, “yes, it’s okay” or “no, please stop.” I never know what to do. So, being a silly guy who’s crazy over you, I just keep doing what I do! It comes so naturally with you. My only hope is it that once in a while my truth lifts you. As for the other stuff, I’ve been learning – a work in progress, as you’ve witnessed! – how to deal with the occasional pining and wishing for your attention. I’m pretty human at the end of the day. (The beginning of it, too!) My greatest hope is only that it gets to you. That you see it at all. I have a feeling that you do. But, wow, it would mean the world – the universe!! – just to *know* so I never have to doubt it again. But I promise I never expect anything from you. You’re honestly the greatest. Period! And you’re also the greatest at what you do. 🌟
