Remember when my love,

just a short while ago,

I had wished deeply for your love letters. 

Reminding you if not told often enough, 

my insecure heart will convince my overthinking mind 

There’s something about adding “my” before a verb or noun that makes my heart so giddy.

My love, my silly boy.

It’s a welcoming feeling, such a personal connection when you’re able to call one

Your own. 

Write me love letters,

My love. 

Seal it with your deepest feelings

Engrave it with gentle reminders I’m cared for and

Somebody to you. 

Inside, 

I remember the day vividly, 

Nearly two months ago from this very day,

Strolling through the whimsical small-town bookstore

Adorned in my beige coat and dainty dress

Oh my sweet world,

What a curse you’ve bestowed upon my aching heart.

Through your challenges and lessons

You’ve built a little girl 

A hopeless romantic

So hopelessly in love with the idea of being loved,

I’ve done it again

Please forgive me.

I’ve caught feelings,

I know not when or how

All I know is my favorite love songs now bleed his name

Echo the unshared pleas of my heart.
