My Love

(A Love Letter)

My Love,
One day you will be hiding… alone…
in the dark… reading this letter I wrote for you…
Your heart racing in search of me…
your eyes devouring every loving word…
I wrote just for you…
The very first time you read this…
these virgin words…this fresh
clean crisp slice of paper… you smell
the scent of my sweet perfume… as fresh
as the day we first touched…
this secret you hold…this you can't keep…
these lovely words that will one day be a vague memory…
One day be a part of you…your secret comrade…
Until death do us part
Our Love…that once burned between us…
has amounted to lovely words on paper…
and these words must die…
and this paper must burn…
One day you will have picked up this letter…
for the one hundredth time…
the paper falling apart…
the words fading away…
One day you will smell my sweet perfume
so faint that it aches your heart…
you yearn for one day to embrace me again…
One day this secret you buried will take on a life of it's own…
It will cry out for me…it will not keep quiet…
you will have killed all evidence of our love…
except for this letter…and one day…
you will take a match to this letter…
and watch as these words rise up in smoke…
making their last attempt to live…
And only You, The Lord and I will know if they do…

Sincerely,
Your Love.
