Girl with the Glasses.

Girl with the Glasses.

A Poem by Aleks Edwin
"

This is actually a letter that I found. I thought it was too interesting not to share.

"
Dear Girl, 
I don't know your name. So I've addressed
this to the woman with the glasses. I hope you
don't mind. 
You needn't read this, of course, but I had
to write it. I won't see you again, that much I 
know. But you let me talk to you, which was 
everything to me; and you let me work the land
-the land my parents spoke of, and dreamed of-
and whatever happens to me, whatever they do
to me, I'll never forget that.
When I first saw you, I saw a face like no 
other. A face that seems to always hold a secret,
that always looks as though it has just read a love
letter. Well, in this case, you have.
It is with equal parts truth and shame that 
I say this: I must be the only man in the world that
does not want this war to end. For that will take 
me from here. And from you.
Please believe these words, for desire is the 
truest part of us.
-Adam.
