Love letters not send.

Sometime letters are not send. Maybe fear of rejection? Or fear of being wanted?

                    Love letter never send.

Dear Peggy

I wanted to drop a note. I left you after a week of joy and happiness. Florida was beautiful. I enjoyed my time with you. I was glad you called me and invited me to Florida. I have known you for 12 years. I still remember you as a nineteen year old beauty. I remembered you loved to dance and laugh. I know we have changed. You have found your way back to me three times. Each time more colder and more bitter. I tried to make you laugh. I sent you a ring and called you. I asked you to marry me. You said yes.

Somehow my desire to protect and love you have create fear. You rarely answered the phone and when you do. You are distant and don't desire to speak. I wrote the letter to tell you. I understand. A woman who lost the desire to love. Can find peace only and in flesh and in the booze. I do understand. I tried to hide in the booze and one night stands. You were the only spark of joy for 12 years. I hope we are still friends. I remember the first time you came to me in Ann Arbor. We made love for hours. We embedded our life for a moment. I never expected you to stay and you escape again after a time.

Today it is a beautiful day in Texas. You would love the good people here. They love to drink and dance.  I go to Downtown Austin. I drink the long Island ice teas and I wonder what you are doing? I would like to see you.
We never had a proper goodbye.  I have never been a true lover to anyone. I have always given only halfway. I thought we found some sort of peace in Florida.  Remember my sweet Peggy. I understand why you love to run when the heart feel the impulse to come alive. I hope you are doing well and you have found some kind of happiness. I'm okay. I have Downtown Austin and the Long Island ice teas. Life is fair. I miss you and hope one day we will find each other and not be afraid to truly love.

                                    All my love
                                    Johnnie

I’m not sure if it’s an American English thing…it happens often that I correct people and it turns out that we’re just using different English’s…is it not…”love letter never sent”?
“I send you a ring and called you”…again I thought it would be sent…
“you have create fear”…I would have said “has created”
If those where done intentionally or its American English…then I apologise. In South Africa we use British English.
Sometimes fear is not enough of a reason to not send a love note, especially one like this, one that offers love and forgiveness. I love that it’s not the typical love note. It isn’t someone trying to sound beautiful…it’s just his and her history and how they belong once before and could maybe once again.
I’m glad you tried something new and I think it’s more than okay!!

I Love letters...from business to love...I use to collect them...I use to write my fair share of them...an endearing letter to read...even though, it was never sent, I believe your sentiments did. Nicely done.

Those old letters become precious with age and time. I kept all my letter from my time in the Army. The letters from Grandparent and father gone are gold to my heart. Permanent words to read and hold on to. I miss the days of letters. Tomorrow I will your story. I'm becoming a Grandpa again today. Just rushing through reading the short poetry.

I agree, Coyote...I use to have a close pen pal that lived in Palm Springs...I stayed with her for a visit after my high school days for a break before college...she was a huge Cure and Depeche Mode fan...we wrote each other extensively(before e-mails)...it was always fun to get snail mail...the penmanship of the handwriting always intrigued me. Thank you for sharing this write...awesome idea.

It's a charming love letter Coyote, one I would cherish if this was part of my history, there are so many words left unsaid between lovers, friends, this would be a welcome breath to clear the air.

I love how you told a story - how they met - very sweet and romantic. This just curls right up in my heart.

Thank you Julie. I tried something new. I like letters. More personal and you can express what you truly feel.
