SuperCrazyPurpleBlog: Valentine's Day

Today I was looking through some old files saved on my computer from freshman year and I happened upon this little beauty. It's a hypothetical love letter that I wrote to no one in particular. I made it as sappy and just plain weird as possible. Please forgive me as I haven't edited at all, and it has some inconsistencies and grammatical errors, but give me a break -I was fourteen. Anyhow, it seems appropriate as today is (or I guess was) Valentine's day. Enjoy!

May 14th, 1967

Dear boy,

You are totally and completely, one hundred percent, the object of my desires. I cannot imagine a world bleaker, than one without you. You’re everything I was put on this earth for. Caring for you and loving you is everything I know now, and I won’t ever stop, no, never.

Despite what you may pretend to your friends; I know that you soul yearns for me just as much as I yearn for you. Not only are we meant to be together, but we both know that you need me as much as I need you. It’s not a matter of want (although that does play a part) to the core, we both truly cannot survive without the other. If one should disappear the other would as well.

I’ve found a quote from my favorite play which I believe describes how I feel towards you perfectly: “Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die, Take him and cut him out as little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night.” (3.2. 23-26). You eyes already twinkle like stars, so shimmery up above. I hope you know that I am ready and willing to do anything for you. “I will do anything for [your] love”. If you commanded me to kill a thousand boars and oxen, I would do it, with my bare hands. No matter the risk and no matter the consequence, as long as I received your faithful devotion in exchange, I am willing to “climb every mountain. Soar ‘ore every sea. Follow every rainbow”. I know that most lovers would do anything for their mate. I’m far more selfish than most lovers, because my love is far more intense than that of most lovers. I will do anything for you, as long as you promise to love me back. I’m ok with an open relationship, just as long as you remember little ole me every one in a while. “We all need someone to hold onto, just like a helpless child.”

I must confess, I’ve had these feelings about you bottled up inside for quite some time and I just thought you should know the truth. I’ve lain my feelings down before you; please don’t use them as a welcome mat. I may welcome you in, as long as you don’t tread on me before we get to have fun. I just couldn’t hide the truth anymore. I am terrible sorry if I upset you, but I know that I won’t, because we both know that you love me as well. Your love isn’t even deep down; it’s just floating on the surface, waiting to be unleashed. I hope my letters have unleashed the love. I understand that you have social problems, but you will come around. And when you do, I’ll be here, as ever, waiting.

Until then, my love, adieu,

D.H. (made up initials)
