In A Love Letter there is so much of me in letters I perhaps will never send or you may never read it does not mean that there is less of you with me at night I reach for stars and stumble, leaving my prints across lingering darkness where velvet silence crushes me and here in my binding there is a thread from my heart that leads directly to you do you think you are forgotten never in neglect always your heart’s echo what inspires a bird’s wings to shutter also frees a heart to fly if my words are later opened I hope they be for you in a love letter "no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love" Anne Rice |

Dear Helen, You couldn't have written a more beautiful love letter than this. How nice it was to read you again. Your words still have that special feel that touches the heart so softly. So beautiful. Rich |

I have a box of those letters myself, but not as sweetly written |

i also have a box and am at times leery of springing them out of the box.some are meant to just soothe when needed as this one did for me |

Very beautiful and sensitive, Helen, and yes, most decidedly soothing. - Owl |

"there is a thread from my heart that leads directly to you" I understand that all too well Helen. Hope school is going well for you. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
