If This All Works Out (Norminah)

Penned Letter

Dear Mani,

I still remember the day I met you, the day I knew I couldn't forget somebody like you. From the moment I fell into well, your tits, you fell into mine (in a metaphorically romantic way.) I thank God every day for you. It amazes me how much of an effect you have that you can't begin to realize. You've made my whole world different. I've never written a love letter before so bare with me. I love to look at you, I know you still don't like it but that never stops me. I'll always say you're beautiful, even when you can't see or believe it. I'll always know you are. I remember how mean you used to be to me, I didn't care...the attention was what I craved from you. You didn't notice how I fell in love each time you came near me. I'd hold your hands for the rest of my life if that's how life was meant for us. I can't remember what I used to want anymore, but now all I want is you. You're part of my life now, such a big and bold, beautiful part of it. I don't want to sleep under someone else, I don't want to play in somebody else's hair, I don't want to give my attention to the wrong things anymore and that's because you're so right for me. I love you in every word, every translation of it, every second it can be said, every time you need to hear and feel it, love you til no number and yet to the very last value. I love you because you loved me with no influence, you love me despite whatever flaw and I hope you love me for this...I love you because you made my heart real even though it isn't. And that's why I'll love you for as long as I'm living.

Dinah Hamilton.
