Letter To My Soulmate

My Darling, You know I'm not good in expressing myself in words, but somehow I've managed to gather a few words from my thoughts. I've done so because you understand the pain behind my smile; the fear behind my firm face; the low esteem behind my loud appearance.... You've shown me it's alright to be as I am. You've shown me I have a purpose in life. You've loved me the way I would only dream or fantasize about. There's no other woman I know can listen to my soul, as you do. I feel as though I've known you for thousands of years. We are of a different culture, yet we have intuition about each other, even a thousand miles away. In my next life, I won't get another woman who loves me as I am, as you do. If I do get one, I'll know it's you! If you are reading this letter, that means you've somehow found it in the time capsule. I wasn't ready to tell you what I feel about you. I just sensed that time would reveal itself, when you'd be ready to read this letter, and when I'd be ready to know that you know how I really feel about you.... Yours Lovingly, Eduardo.

Ah, yes, those lonely hours sitting alone composing all the beautiful words that we would say to "her" if we could only muster the courage. This one brought back a few twinges of an 8th grade dance. Thanks for entering the contest.

I can tell (usually) when I'm hearing/reading genuine feelings. But, how ironic that your first line, "You know I'm not good in expressing myself" is opposite the excellence of your poem. :-)

Hehehe. Greetings Tom!! If you read it keenly, you'll realize Eduardo is a shy guy; he can't say words about his affection to his beloved. He therefore wrote a poem/letter, hoping that one day she'll see it.
