Homage : A Letter For My Love
To my dearest,
I have been wanting to tell this to you for a while now, but my fear had the best of me, and I could not bear the thought of losing what we had. Now it seems I have reached my limit and I can no longer contain my feelings for you within me.
I have admired you, from the very first day we met. And as time passed by, my admiration for you grew much deeper. The more I got to know you, the more I realized how incredible a person you really are.
Very rarely would one get a chance to meet someone like you. You are everything I wish I was, and I aspire to be. You are smart, intelligent, kind. You are gentle and patient with people who need your help. There are no bounds, no limits, no roads you wouldn't take for the people you care about. Yet you fiercely defend your ideas and ideals. Your smile is a source of inspiration for many. And you always manage to bring out the best in people.
Very few people who have had such a great influence in my life. Now there isn't a thing I see or do that doesn't remind me of you. And every time I think of you I get overwhelmed and I find myself smiling uncontrollably like a fool. When you are with me, every moment is special. Everything in my world falls into place and the world just feels right, there are no worries, no anxieties. I feel at peace and content. Walking with you I have become a better person, for that I will always be grateful to you.
Mine is a hope against reason or logic. I know that I am not nearly as talented as you are, nor can I match you in your charm. All I have to offer is my sincerity and loyalty to you, and all the love my tiny heart can muster. And a promise that you'll never have to face the world alone, and I'll always be there by your side, holding your hand and providing a shoulder you can lean onto.
There is nothing more I want, than to hold you in my arms, and make you smile, and to make you happy. That I believe is my place and purpose in the universe. Come what may, one way or another, I will always ensure that you will have a wonderful and fulfilling life.
All I ask of you now, is to give me the chance to hold your hand, walk by your side as your companion for the rest of our lives.
Yours Sincerely,
=========================================================================
I wanted to letter to be simple and sober. So I have tried my best to avoid clichés and choose words that are mundane. There are different ways to express, so I wanted to experiment a bit. I hope I have done justice to it. Maybe sometime later I'll take the other route and make a more poetic rendition.
I have gained so much from writing and from writing letters to people. This is my way of thanking them and paying my respect.
I have been writing letters for a while now(mostly in the form of e-mail), and I am a huge fan of writing letters. Receiving a letter from someone you care is an amazing feeling.
So I encourage people to try it out. Write to your loved ones, even if they live in the same house as you. Surprise them. Writing may be a bit hard, but once you get it out, it stays preserved for the rest of the time.
