Of Battered Hearts & Bitter Coffee

Love letter

Dear darling,
This is a letter from my tormented heart to its tormentor
Dormant, black and white,
And some splashes of grey in between,
That was my life until that fateful day when you walked through that door,
You instantly became my heart's queen,
Ethereal, angelic, surreal, no adjective seemed do justice to you,
Your melodious laugh, those coffee coloured eyes in which mischief would brew,
You had me at your mercy my dear.
My love for you with each day grew,
But I was too shy, too insecure, too scared of losing you,
What if this and what if that?
What if she doesn't feel the same?
What if she then thinks I'm lame?
What if she goes away?
You darling, are more important to me than the sun's rays.
You are like a tropical bay,
Your temper is devastating,
You also are comforting and warm when happy and calm,
You are a hurricane with the gentleness of the summer breeze,
You take my breath away while breathing life into me,
You're a beautiful contradiction you see.
Many a times I wanted to confess,
I wanted to so badly,
But the fear of a life without you threw those thoughts right out the window.
But today there is no holding back,
As you sit by my side, my ability to any longer hold it in has snapped,
My insecurities have received a hard whack,
The adrenaline in my veins has brought some lovely words to the tip of tongue,
It's a major risk, but I will take the plunge,
And shall tell you everything, every emotion, every feeling, from the start
Little thief of my heart.

From your lover and friend,
The boy at your side.
