more-than-penpals

back in forth letters have inspired me to write this

"Dear love,"
the ink spells.
the hand drags.
the pen pauses. they are uncertain.
[don't mess this up]

the letter opens with scribbles of timing affection and subtle passes.

this could never work. [oh, but it can. love Can always work. are you in love?] am i in love? not yet.

ignore the pen, drag the hand. close your eyes
let the words fly

[you're writing with your heart now.]

the fear shuffles to the back of your soul, it is shadowed by the overpowering hope that the universe might decide to go easy on you,, this round.

Can you love me? not yet.

our letters will arrive in eachothers squeaky mailboxes, the faded college-ruled paper I found at the bottom of my bag is crumpled from being hesitantly held just a little too long
and the envelopes sealed with our mouths are the closest we may ever come to kissing

and though the mail man has our very hearts in his hand, i enjoy stuffing my day dreams in a package and wishing them to your door step. don't give up just yet.

"Sincerely, yours."

Author's Note

since this is my first post on here i just wanna state that I do realize some of the words are capitalized where they shouldn't be, the spacing and punctuation is weird, etc. etc. my writing is very inspired by e.e Cummings and I really admire the way he bends all the rules of the English language in order to best represent the idea he wants to put accross

Beautifully crafted piece/thought. From such a simple thing, to the mailman carrying your hearts...a wonderful and thought provoking write, written perfectly.
As for the authors note, hell yeah... I know rules are there for a reason - but is anyone confused that I used that line instead of a comma - - NOPE. We should write as freely as our mind allows, and our mind allows - - - - -:)
Great write.
