My first Love Letter

Dearest <name withheld>,

There’s so much in my heart that it keeps me from breathing sometimes. I have so much to say; there are so many things you need to know. Apparently, all my guts to spill those things out seem to go comatose when you’re around. And that should explain why you’re receiving this letter.

I can’t believe how long I’ve been loving you and how long I contained my love. Yes, you read that correct. I put it abruptly, with a purpose; that was just so you know exactly, how my heart beats (read ‘bounces’) with its every distinct pulse when I’m around you. Distant horizons seem to die away around a very short periphery, encircling you and me. Remaining of the world has always seemed much non-existent and vague in your presence.

However, also true is the rotten luck of this unfortunate heart of mine. It knows that it cannot wish to be yours. It knows that the space it craves for, in your heart, is someone else’s territory. It knows that the smile, the eyes, and the lips that it fell for are already retained with love in someone else’s heart. And more importantly, it knows that the heart that it wants to plug in to, itself feels complete only with THAT someone else’s emotions.

I have sat back, watched and listened to you talking about your love so many times. I have beheld so many of ups and downs in your love life, all with a solution or with a smile. We have been friends for such a long time now. Every day spent with you is like a paradise of new surprises. If you only knew that there is a true love waiting for you – one that will never die or grow tired.

With every passing day I fall in love with you over and over again. Every time we meet, my heart gets so out of control that I can’t even look up at you. Sometimes I wish I could just jump out of my seat and run into your arms. I don’t know how you feel for me, but I have my feelings for you all the same like they have been till now being friends. All I really want is to see you happy, even if the person you choose to live your life forever with, turns out not to be me. I am willing to let you go where you want, but I hope that eventually you choose me.

I. Love. You.

Tonnes of love,
Mitaysh
