Love's Messages Sapphic Stanza

LOVE'S MESSAGES

Thanks, Drake. I like the ending, too. Took me longer to write the last line (days) than the rest of the poem. I knew what I wanted to happen, just not how to say it....from one who has read love's messages wrong so many times, I wanted a character that gets it right! Glad you enjoyed it!
