LETTERS TO LOVERS

I

Dear Lover,
This is to you, who was the first.
You
With your crazy quirks that i grew to love
-still love;
you with the deep brown eyes, the big dreams, and
your drumset.
Thank you:
You were when I first learnt to blush.

II

This is to you, dearest,
You
Who loved
Without competition
or expectations
or preconceptions
- Just a genuineness.
You who
-all my life-
have been full of
Lessons, warmth, openness, purity.
Thank you:
I have never stopped learning with you.

III

And this is to you
who is today,
who I hope will be forever;
you
with your
Intensity,
Complexity,
Capacity for joy,
Honesty;
Thank you:
Just- Thank You.

IV

We will always Be.



P.S.

V

Dear Lover,
no, you are not forgotten:
You
Who are 'friends'
and crossed over
-even for justamoment
[sometimes, with just a glance, sometimes with a confession,
and sometimes, with a full blown kiss]:
Thank you:
you make up me lightest- funniest- memories:
yes, ones that I will always cherish.
