I TOO LOVE HERMAN - but in a different way. I've said this many times, but no one really understands.
     Recently I attended a concert (in Providence) because I wanted to see just what I've been dreaming those dreams about. Before going to the concert, I bought a stuffed animal which was yellow and very furry . .
     Being at the concert was like living my wildest of wild dreams. Herman was much more beautiful than I could ever imagine. My girl friend pushed me and said to hurry and run up and give him the yellow gonk. But I couldn't, not just then. I was frozen. I was in another world. Finally I rushed up and there he was singing right at me. I threw the gonk on stage and three cops grabbed me and pulled me away. Herman picked up my gonk and sang to it. It was his last song - Jezebel.
     After this happened it was time to go, and very quickly the Hermits were gone and I felt to very, very strange inside. I thought: well, at least he has my gonk.
     But when I turned around I saw a girl by the exitway holding it. Right then my dream was destroyed and I knew I wasn't the only one in the world.
     I always thought a boy could feel it if you love him so much but then I remembered Herman looked at me for a second and then turned to all the other fans. That was the disaster.
     I was just another fan.
     As I walked out, I started to cry. The only one I loved couldn't feel what I felt. He'll never know my inside feelings. I've entered contests but I guess I don't have the luck or the right answers. I do have something though. I still have a dream. I find him in every one of my dreams and I try to be in his. I just can't break through though. I wish he knew that HE ALONE is my only dream.
     I'm going to keep fighting and sending out those lovebeams because what ever is stopping Herman from receiving them is not all-powerful and will crumble some day. When that day does come, Herman will know my inside feelings and I will be in his dreams as he is in mine.
