Marco sighed as he reached for his mail box. It's probably empty, he thinks as he looks inside. He stops when his hands touch something. A letter labeled anonymous. A confused look crosses his face as he stares at the letter. Carefully opening it, he pulled out a piece of white paper, covered in someone's scribbled handwriting.
Dear Marco,
Your eyes shine like the stars, Smiles that burn brighter than the sun,
you are beautiful especially to me!
~ Your secret admirer
Marco's heart fluttered as he smiled at the parchment caught in his hands. He placed it back in its envelope carefully so as to not wrinkle it. That letter made his day.
Frustration was evident on Marco's face as he came home the next day. His hair was a wild mess, his eyes bloodshot. Yanking the mailbox open, he was surprised to find another letter. This one had another poem written on it, similar to the one he had received yesterday. A slow smile spread across his face, brightening his features. A relaxed aura settled over him as he reread the letter. Closing his eyes, he held it close to his heart, feeling the emotions that must have gone into writing it.
Dominic looked out his window, watching his neighbor read a letter that he had found in his mailbox. The man across the street almost never received any mail, making this an exception. Dominic smiled as he placed the white paper back in his desk along with the envelopes.
