My Love

 

Letter by letter, word by word, I reach out. From my fingertips
flow pure feelings. My memories alive, my spirit full, my heart pours forth with love for you.

It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It is honest emotion, wrapped raw, with all barriers down. Wrapped, longing for connection. It is this heart that beats in my chest, that beats for you my love, this Valentine’s Day — and every other.

  1. Soul-searching, searing…honest….’real’ writing, Rob — no holds barred, straight from where it counts, to the same…

    1. I still feel how those feelings felt, when they were at their most intense — that is what I was writing to. And though time may have dialed down some of the volume, and the idealistic timbre of those early love notes, I still hear them — and they were that intense, and still resonate in a place in my heart… so I am so thankful for them, and still able to write to them genuinely.

  2. true love is accepting each other, warts and all … supporting through the tough times, etc … and you two have done that! A loving tribute to your partner

    1. Our relationship has had its blemishes Kate, but the depth and richness that comes from commitment overshadows our frail, sometimes faulty humanity. Took me a 40 years, and 3 marriages to figure that out. Finally I got it right in 1987 — 35 years, and on it goes! 🙂
