I saw there a letter with my name on it. I also saw a small electric tea light, which I had a few ideas on what it could mean, but I was still a little confused. I decided to open up the letter, which had beautiful handwritten cursive on the envelope and throughout the whole entire letter. Then I noticed the letter was a poem:
I could tell you I loved you.
I could tell you you're my life.
But I won't because I don't think that would be enough.
Not only do I want to tell you how much I love you,
I want to show you.
You are the reason I live,
the reason my heart keeps beating.
Without you my life would be over.
I never knew I could love someone as much as I love and need you.
Please know I'll never be able to love anyone as much as I love you.
You're the only one for me.
And that's the way it will always be.
Without you my heart would be empty and incomplete.
Every memory I have of you I treasure.
Every thought of you is wonderful.
Thank you for the love you have given me.
Thank you for the lesson of my life I will never forget.
Thank you, love of my life
(Mariana Traferro)
I have sent you a candle, that will never die
It shows my love for you
Like the candle my love for you will never die
The way of the world will never be able to get between you and I
I'll love forever, I'll love you always
This is too you, love of my life.
As I finished reading the poem I could feel a tear trickle down my face. This was the sweetest anyone had ever written to me before. I pulled out the little candle and took the lid of. The candle was a beautiful red color. I turned upside down and found the a switch. I flipped to the 'on' setting. The little LED light was engulfed in light.
I picked up my phone to call Louis but then I thought I should surprise by going to his house.
*Louis PoV*'
The house felt so much emptier without Kalel around. I didn't even have something physical to remind me of her. But that's why I got the electric candles. I have one to her and kept one for me. Everyday I'd walk past it and all I could think about was her, she flooded my mind.
I would always wonder the next time she would come and stay. I really wanted to have her move in with me but I don't want to scare her away so, when she's ready she can make that decision by herself.
I was sitting in my living room watching TV. Nothing good was on but I had nothing else to do. All of the sudden I heard a sound coming from my front door. I solemnly walked over to the door and opened.
And that's where the most beautiful girl was standing.
I quickly embraced her. Then I realized she had tears in her eyes.
"Kalel is everything okay?"
"Of course! I'm crying because of the package you sent me, tears of joy," she exclaimed.
That was such a relief. I thought someone, even myself, had hurt her. I took my hand up to her face and wiped away her tears away, she looked so pretty when she cried. Well happy tears of course.
"Can you stay here tonight?" I aske looking her straight in the eyes.
"As you wish," she repiled.
And with that we walked in side my house. It was still early in the morning but for the rest of the day was very chill. For lunch I had left over Chinese food so, that's what we ate. Then we watched movies, cuddled, kissed, the usual couple stuff. I never thought in a million years I would be into that kind of stuff.
As the night closed in on us, we each showered and dressed. I gave Kalel a pair of my boxers and the rolling stones shirt, since that was her clothing for when she visited.
"Next time you should bring clothes and leave them here," I joked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"But I like your clothes better," she pretended to whine.
"Well I have to say dang girl, you do look quite hot in my clothes," I said grabbing her waist from the behind.
She laughed and tried to escape to the bed, but each time she got closer to the bed so did I. God did I love her. When she finally got there I let her go and she crawled in, me following behind her.
I pulled up the sheets to cover both of us. I was facing her and she was facing me. Though it was dark I could see he beautiful brown eyes.I pulled her in for a kiss, that lets just say got a little steamy. During our little make-out session I managed to say three words that I had never told her before.
"Kalel,"
"Hm?"
"I love you," I said.
