I’ve been thinking about love letters and relationships in the olden days a lot lately and I found this book and after a few letters, I wrote one too.It’s like a collection all in one that i would have written to people I've loved. It was fun to experience the emotions again. Thanks to Dustin O’ Halloran’s Opus 26 and Antiquesfor getting me to the point of tears and satisfaction.

My darling,

Your face is as pleasing as watching honey diamonds fall into late night ginger tea

I can’t help but think of how lonely life was without you bringing comfort to my eyes

Speaking my name as beauty every chance you get like they are one and the same

Like it is sinful to let time and distance be without the disruption of touch

I’ve suffered long, feeling so invisible without it

But I feel you are here guiding me out of my head with your words

Assuring me of how real and present we are, I want to tell you just how lovely you are

How you’re the only one that makes my vow of honesty a burden

My darling,

You believe it is how you see through me

When I was a laughing husk, breathless and in pain

Cold as vanilla, down your lips into your vein, tender as trust.

Your hands and tongue intertwined with mine

Your face in my neck and hair, in the dark

Heavenly bodies, shining gods

I desire rest, to enjoy, to refrain from seeking clarity on matters of the future

It is frightening how happy I am, I would never have imagined it would scare me to my very core

Perhaps it is not the emotion but waiting for what next

What error I might make to change my good fortune

Or by what unique universal order do all threads always seem to tangle

I remain a bit hesitant but only because I cannot fathom living this kind and intentional life

One that has always been so out of reach but now seems too near, beckoning

Too good to be true, too precious, too delicate to tamper with

I finally screwed that bulb in, that I may begin to see things more clearly

But it just makes everything you do even more glorious

The thousand kisses, the letters, the laughter, this wonderful sorrow

May I live long to see you keep bringing the lilies to my bed and

What other joys you might bring if I let you without resistance
