Love Letters Written for BFF Blogging For Fun 166

There lies the box which holds the secret of the  days gone by

young and naive I would pour my heart out

to say I Love You without holding anything back

etched in scented rose-colored stationeries once

they now have turned somewhat brown.

I would write you all night

I would wait all month

I would almost fall from the stairs

when the mailman comes.

Like cherub from the sky

our winged love soared high

countless times I read those letters

tucked under my pillow to meet you in my dreams.

Love has slipped away

with the passing of time

but your love letters are still here.

Reading them back, my heart no longer  skips a beat

they merely remind me that I was once loved by you

and that, I was able to love someone like you

that as much.

On the day my soul is set free,

burn to ashes, these letters, too, shall be.

There lies the box which holds the secrets of my heart.
