To The One I Love

Finding love

A letter I found, so beautiful the words;
addressed To the one I love,
I wondered who it was?
Signed only with an initial, no return label to be found.
Though it was not addressed to me,
I couldn't put it down.
Those beautiful words reverberated in my heart,
caused tears of happiness to flow.
From this showing of love, wished I could be a part.

I wanted to meet the author
of this beautiful letter.
The words they wrote
sang to my heart as no other.
Even if it was just to thank them
for leaving the letter where I could read
such wonderful words of love
expressed so beautifully.

I turned to a face familiar saying,
"You found my letter."
To my dismay,
I had been caught
reading something so personal,
I didn't know what to say.

"I am so sorry," I said,
"For infringing on your privacy.
I couldn't stop reading your letter
written so beautifully.
I hope she appreciates
such precious emotions you feel for her.
She's a lucky woman."
He said," She knows, you can be sure".

I tried to hand the letter back,
but he shook his head and said,
"The letter is meant for the person who read it.
It was yours from the first word you read.
You are the one I love,
the one for whom the letter is meant.
I left it there for you,
before the moment was spent ".

Stunned was I,
not sure what I had heard.
These words were meant for me?
I am the one he loves?
With understanding and truth,
my heart opened with the possibility,
that love had not passed me by,
but had been waiting here for me.
