"my Gift"

Months have passed since I tried to give her this gift..
Not the right time I was sure but still it caused a split..
As time went on and we connected and our letters began...
I kept it close for one day I could try this again...
So there I sat wondering if the time was right...
Threw caution to the wind and she was in my sight..
I handed her this box with a necklace I hoped she would wear..
Purple hearts all in a line with diamond chips that held it there...
Her smile was huge as her eyes filled with tears...
She ran to my arms , a feeling we both hadn't had in years..
So now I feel right on afternoon in May, to know that I brought
so much joy to her today

Sounds like a wonderful gift. A lovely, romantic write. Just a couple of edits needed, neck less/necklace and May should be capitalised. Enjoyed the read, thanks :)

Michael ,that contest Hunger was in finished. I got an HM. Is this one a true story? It makes me wonder why you could not give the gift earlier, but wow, someone could have given that gift to ME at anytime and I would have been really appreciative!! It sounds wonderful, with those purple hearts and all . Good description, Michael. LUv, Andrea

You always mostly write on the passionate love, Michael. Is that for the same person or it is just poetry? Of course, I always your passionate writing
