i had finished my own letter a while ago, i also had printed out the desired amount and was currently writing out the addresses of all those i want to receive this letter.
my concentration was interrupted as i heard a sniff from the bed, averting my eyes to libby sat with my laptop in her grasp, she wiped her nose with her arm and turned her face away from my direction. i didn't ignore her purposely, i knew how she was feeling, it hurt, it hurt a lot. i also knew it was good to let the emotions out, so all i did was perch myself next to her and held my hand onto her own.
i read the end of the screen and my eyes watered slightly. "all my love, forever and always, libby french x"
i didn't know what hurt more, the three copies she printed off, or the sentiment of 'forever and always.'
"only three?" i choked a small chuckle trying to tear the tension.
"my mum and dad." she pointed to the first copy.
"wayne, my neighbour." the second copy.
i pointed to the third one, "and that?"
she stayed silent for a moment too long, until she looked up and gazed into my own watery eyes. "for you." her voice cracked slightly, forcing herself to smile.
grasping her shoulders tightly i pulled her towards me. i didn't want her to see the tears streaming down my own face, i didn't want her to see the heart break that was masked between my own eyes. she wrote a letter to me, there was no point in a letter being given to myself; but i was touched. extremely touched, almost as if my heart reached out of my chest, through my throat and out of my mouth, spewing all of the emotions on the tip of my tongue.
"i can't tell you how i'm feeling, but i like you more than i should libby french, a great extent more than i should."
by this point we both were crying, it wasn't planned- but it happened so unexpected. trying to provide comfort for us both, i was placing constant kisses to the top of her blonde hair, healing her pain with affection.
healing my pain with love.
