but I’ll write to let you know the love that is in my heart
I’ll write you a letter to remind you of the words
I have said a million times to the winds hoping they’d reach you
I’ll write you a letter to let out the load on my chest I need you to read my pain.
Others may claim I am old-fashioned I’ll still write two to three pages
describing all you mean to me and how much I need you
I’ll write you a letter for remembrance and comfort that if you miss me, you’d just re-read
Hoping the feelings carefully embroidered in each letter would touch your heart
I hope to connect with your soul that when you read, you’d hear my voice
solidly pleading my case. For somewhere in you, I feel I need to kiss your soul
I’ll write from my heart, hoping that it will guide my hands to send my request to you
I want to be your friend, I need you as my lover.
I seek to make you and me – us and one day, I hope to count the stars with you
I’ll write you a letter, despite my wet hands as I keep wiping my tears
I hope the sun will dry the letter and make it reach you in one piece
I hope my tears will stop raining once you read
I’ll write you a letter, borrowing God’s advice that love is beautiful
I seek to let you know how beautiful you are
and how you’d make my life beautiful with your smile
I need to see your smile again someday and hear your voice
to assure me that the smiles I see in my dreams are yours
and the voices I hear in my heart and abode are truly yours
I’ll write you a letter of three words “I Love You” after struggling inside
I have cancelled many words to let you know the depth of my words
Hoping those three words alone will do some magic
I hope you do not find a trace of blood in my letter. I tried desperately
to block my dripping heart from messing the already tear soaked letter
If you notice any blood, I am sorry
I’ll write you a letter with your name in capital letters
so you’d hear me calling out your name to come rescue me
in this thorny field of tribulation I hope you’d come fast before I die
I’ll write you a letter before life renders me useless
If one day you’d find me in my grave
know that I will still be waiting for your reply.
I hope my letter will find you

I like letters. I haven’t received a real letter in many years. Letters are personal and we can hold the paper in our hands. Thank you for the amazing letter.
And thank you for visiting again Sir John. How have you been?
Just enjoying my vacation. Reading and writing. How are you?
I am fine..but there’s been no vacation. Just work and writing
More than ‘liked’ this. LOVED this. 🙂
Thanks. Glad to hear that.
