letters to lovers

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.

if i were to write my very own letters to lovers, it would look something like this:

I

This is to you who was the first:
you believed.
and that was always enough.
even when you left
it was enough to believe.
still is.

II

this is to you
who taught me all the wrong things
-the little side effects of all your love-
when i was just "old enough"
i will never forget
you
your laughter
your joint.
altho
now you're too far away
for even my dreams to reach.

III

like someone else said on mahimasblog.blogspot.com,
you've been once and you'll live forever in me.

..the big loves come and go. the little ones remain forever-
vast in their possibility,
bright in their excitement.

:p

To my fake lover,
There is always a pocket in me
Full of love
When you were near
It was empty
Now its full
I don't know which way is better

Chamki said...

To the one I cannot love,
You, the forbidden fruit
forever tempt me
from your land far far away
Your name, your perfume
like your memory
forever lingers
around me.

You, who I cannot love,
I love so dearly.

Come, live with me.

this is me said...

n seems to live in eternal hope.
