Favorite Romantic Love Letters
From *twinkle twinkle*
I've had this funny smile on my face throughout the day. Had it when I got up this morning, had it when I went about taking care of business. Had it whenever I stopped for a moment too. Maybe even more so. It's funny how things are, how thoughts can come and go, but the really good ones always stay close, never leaving, never pushed out of the way by life's daily grind. It's funny how one person, one smile, one look can be so powerful, so overwhelming and so intoxicating that nothing else can come between...

| Dearest JoJo,
I haven't one bit of news this evening. I can't think of even one tiny scrap of news to tell you just now but I want to chat with you awhile. I wish you were near so that I might draw your arm about my shoulder and snuggle up close. Someway I feel just like a tired little boy who needs to be petted and loved a little bit. Would you do that for me if you were here, Dear? I imagine you stroking my hair just in a possessive way, and Dear I *do So* want to just belong to you, and for you to just belong to me. Someway that would just give me more strength and courage than any thing I know, and I feel that I need that now. I just *know* that both of us would be in an understanding mood and that our thoughts would travel along together without the need of words to express them. That our ideals and our determination each to help the other would grow within us as we sat there together. That each of us would resolve to forget self in the advancement of our partnership in life. That faithfulness, and trust and loyalty and love would fill both of us. I wonder if the desire for the fufillment of this little "dream" of mine fills your heart too. Somehow I'm sure it does. Is that egotistical? I don't mean it that way but I know you love me a little at least. God grant that it may grow and grow until both our lives are filled with love for one another. Sweetheart, someway I want to say, I love you, in about a million different ways and languages tonight. It is an overpowering desire. How I hope you'll understand and that it will meet an answering desire in your heart as you read this and that it won't sound silly. I love you JoJo. I do truly. |

My Dear Little Dove, There are few things in this life that I can truly give to you. They come not in a package or container and they cannot be found in the marketplace. Though it may rain or you may be standing by a spring, they will not quench the natural dryness inside of you. On those days when the sun warms your soft skin, the few things that I can truly give you will be also like the sun's rays beating softly on your skin. What I give to you is my love that knows no bounds of time. My love asks for nothing in return, but only seeks to find a place in your heart. It searches for a place it may belong and stay. It is a love that cherishes the moments when I am with you and reminds me of you constantly when I am away from you. I reflect my love for you as the moon reflects the sun's light for all to see. I give to you my hope and trust. Hope is the beauty that I see when I look into your eyes. It is there that I see a lifetime shared with you and a future filled with joy and happiness. Trust is my heart that is held by your hands, my heart is the most precious thing I have and I guard with my whole being. I have no fear of loss or hurt since you are the one I gave it to, I know you will guard it and treasure it better than I. Now I know what love is and have been blessed to see. I cannot imagine what my life would be, without you someone I need. I have searched all my life for someone like you and now I stop because I have found you. Tekfire |
