If I Were To Write You a Love Letter

An image of you is how I’d start, preparing myself to write Pretending to work up all my nerves to express what’s on my mind I’d say my heart it chose you first, and I guess my heart was right For all my thoughts are filled with you as you control my time I’d want to explain your effect on me when you simply say hello How a normal look or your perfect smile can turn my day around I’d want to write about your face and the loveliness you show How I succumb to all your beauty for in its hold I’m bound I’d follow by, outlining things, I love about you most Your caring kindness and tender ways and the grace that you possess I’d write how I could die the night the day I hold you close And detail all that I would give to feel your warm caress If I were ever to write this letter I’d have so much to say This letter of love I’d write to you conveying my feelings deep I’d hope the words I write to you would help me find a way To bring your heart within my own and make my life complete Written in Texas -2012

Thats the story you should be writing about. Get into the muck, let the feelings flow, overwhelm us. Don't be afraid of getting dirty! Make us feel the pain.
