An Unsent Love Letter

WARNING: this is the cheesiest thing I’ll post in my blog. But what the hell, you can leave now if you want to.

I have this as a draft for a very long time. Someday, I’ll give this letter to someone.

Before, great men write love letters when they’re separated with their loved ones. For example is war as well as hundreds and hundreds of miles. Like with soldiers and when they come to a combat, before snail mails, phone calls and before the advent of skype and webcam, all you need is a pen and paper and spill out what you feel for that special someone and tell them that you miss them and that your only wish is to be with them. For a change, I wrote this letter not for someone I left neither for a battle nor me being far away. Won’t you agree that when you’re deeply in love, you’re capable of doing crazy things?

So here’s my take…

I’m not great with words…

And I’m doing this to show you how much I care.

I know that action speaks louder than words. But just in case, I’ll lose my confidence again and haven’t mustered and tell you exactly what I really feel, I want you to read this.

I remember the first time I heard your voice; I sensed a hint of sadness. So I tried as much as possible to make you smile and comfort you. I guess that day I was successful doing so. You had a lot of questions then, some are about me and I tried my best to answer all of them with sincerity. Days had passed and I like how you share little by little your stories, from the funny ones to some of your secrets. I guess day by day I won your trust.

I love the way you laugh at my jokes.

I love the way you sing for me.

I love watching you falling asleep.

I love the sound you make when you sip your soup.

I love how appreciative you are even with the smallest little thing.

I love the way you trust my opinions and judgment.

I love that we have a lot of things in common, and most of the time we’re thinking of exactly the same thing.

I love that when I was shaken to the core, you called and told me everything’s gonna be okay.

I love that despite my low self esteem, you’re always there boosting it up.

I love the way you cheer me up.

I love the way how you believe in me and that I can do great things.

I love that you gave me a sense of direction, that now at least I have a concrete plan with my life.

I love the way you say I love you too.

I’ll never be ashamed to tell this to the whole world that with you, everyday I’m in love. And everyday, my love intensifies and is incomparable to the day prior.

I don’t want to make any promises to you. All I want for us is to enjoy what we have now and hopefully we can make it last. I trust us.

Also, I hope someday we can travel the world. I know that’s one of the things we want to do. We’ll go to Ireland and Scotland and lay on the greeneries enjoying the sun. We’ll ride the Gondola in tour Venice together. Watch the grand prix in Monaco, teach you how to swim and enjoy the sunset in Santorini. And eat in different Boulangerie or Pâtisserie in Paris.

There’s a lot of things going through my mind and I want to tell you everything trough this letter. But it’s best that at least you know now what I really feel. The next time you’ll visit my blog again, I hope you’ll reread this letter and remind you of what I really really feel. I love you.
