If I were a real love letter, this is how I would sound. I would make sure to begin subtly, and not give all my feelings away at first. I would let you know that I’m listening to your words and that they caress my thoughts any time I think of any topic because we talk so much. I would then tell you that I admire your hope and zeal for life, and how it makes me want to reach out and obtain the things I have always wanted to do. I would even go so far as to tell you that you make me want to be a better person just for you.
If I were a real love letter, I would say your name more than once in the letter, just so you know that the writer has become familiar with its sound and has perfected its sweet aria. For example, I might say something about how you love unique and very odd treasures, and that it makes me love you more, Olivia. I might say how those four syllables make me know that you were meant for me because their mere sound is like music. I might even rhyme a little for you, then you would know how much of a real love letter I am.
If I were a real love letter, I would tell you that no one could hold a candle to you or the love we share—how I would love you in spite of all difficulty and how I appreciated your presence in those difficulties in the past.
If I were a real love letter, I could only possess a mere fraction of the love that I was meant to convey because the writer can only write so much, but I would be a great love letter. The best love letter you’ve ever read because this love is real and deeply sincere.
If only I were a real love letter…
