Ten Percent - For Last Letter To My Beloved Contest

Ten percent Go my love, become the Earth Do not fear this second birth Rest not alone, my word is true The best of me shall lie with you I lived a life, so long alone Until I put you in my phone Only then, I became whole Found the value of my soul For you, I’ll ever grateful be Not just the better half of me Took no time for me to see You were at least nine tenths of me I the agent, you the star One tiny part of who you are For you to me were heaven sent I thank you for my ten per cent So, go now, Love, become the Earth Do not fear this second birth Rest not alone, my word is true The best of me resides in you 12 December 2018 For - Last Letter to my Beloved Contest Sponsor - Silent One

Thankyou Silent One. I very nearly withdrew this because, if I remember correctly, it should have been a ‘just in time’ letter and I felt it read more like a eulogy. So Thankyou for allowing me to stretch that point.
