Love Letters

I guess I forgot I saved them

Had them stashed away

Boxed up

Hidden from my memory

I always loved getting them

Even if I was not sure I could handle them

Scared I would loose them

Unsure I had already met you

Even though I knew you were special

Spoiled by that I got the chance to have you 

I was your first

You didn’t hesitate

We didn’t wait on our first date

I guess you knew

I should of realized the first time

I saw beauty in your eyes

To my heart I cannot disguise

You rubbed off on me

The love we had

Made me see

I would not let the first taste

Be our only chance

So I wrote a love letter to you in haste

I guess I made a good case

You called that night

We didn’t have a fight

You agreed to give me another shot

Just as I hoped you might

Through your loving eyes I was given sight

I wished those days would never end

Unfortunately in this world

Too young, we had to be friends

As years went by tried to let go

Met others 

Wanted my love to grow

No one else ever sent me love letters

No one else made my heart feel light as a feather

How could this be?

I thought as I got older it would be better

No one else seemed to see

Only my disguise, what they thought of me

I had heard you moved on

No longer did I want to write songs

Didn’t feel like I could smile

Stopped feeling free as a child

Unexpectedly 

I got news I didn’t even know me

But when I heard your voice

I came to instantly

Although you had moved on

Your love letters had set me free

Made me love with all my heart

infinitely

I found your love letters half a life later

Realized I could no longer be a hater

Every time I read them I get stronger

Realize I can wait longer

If I never met you

Oh God, what would I do?

I want to send you a love letter back today

Nothing fancy

Simply say

I love you

Quote our favorite passage

12 Corinthians

Verse 13

Felt this way since fifteen

Since it is the New World

I’ll put it on this blog

Without my name

Make it a game

Your name is not on it either

But I think you can hear me

Because I hear you speaking to me clearly

Your love I hold forever dearly

Without it I cannot write love letters today

There is just one thing to say

Je t’amie ma cheri, aujord’hui

Eternity
