Dear you,
I hope this letter finds you well,
I know I know- I’m still a hopeless romantic who still believes letters are much more beautiful than text messages
I hope that reminds you of how much you know me inside and how your heart still remembers my not-so-believable beliefs
I’m asking you to take this letter somewhere you feel safe and read every letter with an open heart
I’m sorry,
I hate to barge in into your world out of nowhere, it’s been two years I know,
But I hope you smile reading my name, I hope it offers you ten seconds of the vision of my laughter and the sound of my voice
Because every time I remember yours my heart lights up in warmth and my whole body calms down for a moment that takes me out of this world
My dearest you,
It’s 3 in the morning, and I can’t close my eyes,
In my last attempt; I found them opening to a pen in my hand
It didn’t take me too long to realize my heart needs to speak to you
The fibers inside me are shaking my head with words that are pleading to reach you
Remember him? Yeah he’s still here, not much has changed since I last ran into you
Except
He took me to our favorite restaurant up in the city tonight
You know, the one over the hill; absulote killer view by the way
Whoops
Sorry,
I’m sure you also remember how my mind shifts into smaller details every time I tell a story
I remember you enjoyed hearing my every little inessential
Okay
Back to dinner;
My out-and-out favorite dessert was finally served;
Vanilla soufflé with the vanilla ice cream on the side- I hope you’ve tried it, and I hope it got me on your mind for a second, because it definitely got you on mine
I effortlessly took a scoop of the softest cake ever and my eyes catched his biggest smile and also softest tears
I looked at him in awe and immediately knew, if I took my eyes off his and looked back to the spoon; I’d find it
The most gorgeous diamond my eyes have ever witnessed, covered with the most delicious ice cream my tongue have ever tasted, if I may add
Tears started to stream down my cheeks and my throat started to tighten up on me
Both our hands shivering as he knelt on one knee
Reaching out to my burning palms but too cold fingertips
I was thrilled! I was so happy
I mean, I finally got the cheesy proposal I have always dreamed of
As soon as the question spilled out of his lips
The three lettered word left mine
Joyful moments danced around us with beautiful rhythms
And god how perfect the world finally seemed then
Now;
Just a few hours later,
Suddenly every cell inside of me feels like it has fallen out of place
Suddenly the world is crashing down on me and my heart feels as empty as my life has ever been
Why doesn’t it feel so perfect anymore?
I stare at the man lying next to me and all I could think about is the man lying next to her
Suddenly all I want is to wake up to your face every morning and to my fingers slightly moving through the shaggy hair that was once called mine
Suddenly my body feels illusional
I don’t feel right, I just feel deeply wrong
Do I even exist? Because I don’t really feel whole anymore
Something inside me is missing, a huge part of my life just got up and left my heart asking for shelter
In a late hour where everything feels delusional, the only real thing is the pen I’m holding
In a late hour where everything feels wrong, the only right thing is me writing you
In a two year duration where everything feels misguided, the only right guidance takes me to you
Dear you,
I’m sorry it took me this much time to realize
I miss you, I miss you so much
