Love Letters To You

Letter 1

To my beloved, 7/19/20

I know it has been an entire season since I last wrote you a lovely letter. I have decided to write this for you, even if I know you might not be the first to read it. I hope that you get this letter anyways, even if it takes my lifetime to deliver it. While I have been away from you, I have been listening to our song every minute of every day. Whenever it comes on I can't help but think of you and your beautiful eyes and that charming smile you would give me every day. I am sorry I did not write to you any sooner, as I am scared to even send this one out, even now. I did not think I would be able to keep this crush on you for over a month, but here I am, seven months later, writing this because of you.

I cannot stop thinking about your smile, and how you would always hide your face when I tried to paint you. This letter was supposed to be written to get over you, but I cannot help but to think of you in a more loving way than before. I would describe our end as tragic, like Romeo and Juliet, only if it was just the story of two awkward girls falling for each other. I know your mother prohibited you from seeing me, which is why it reminds me of it so much. At the very least we will not have such a tragic end, though to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die. Just writing this makes me feel like I'm stuck in Victorian times. If only I would be able to send this to you in an envelope with violets, but I can't. Your beautiful raven hair and cherry cheeks, always smiling.

These feelings will just not go away and I simply cannot ignore them. This is not simply teenage love or just a phase that only lasts one winter, our love shall bloom again when it becomes spring. I wish to see you again, but meanwhile I will lie in wait. Our story cannot end here and for that, it will not stop writing to you. Write back soon, as I will be waiting, even if it takes forevermore.

-Your Love
