A Letter of Love
You felt it when you sent your first love letter,
you loved it when you got your first one back.
You smiled when you read that he loved you,
you longed to express that love back.
You laugh at the misspelt words,
and take comfort in his hidden mistakes.
His unsteady writing runs through you,
like your heartbeat, it trembles and shakes.
Your eyes swell at the sight of his name,
as you know the close is near.
You rush back to where he said he loved you,
careful not to smudge with a tear.
You smile when you read it again,
with your thumb caressing his name.
You long over every last word this time,
still knowing that you'll read it again.
