      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Because You Asked Me To. - Tatiana Borgos

      Because You Asked Me To.

      because you asked me to.

      thank you

      Thank you

      When I doubted myself

      You held hope in your heart

      When I despised myself

      You showcased your love for me

      And when I lost vision of who I was

      You wiped the mist from the mirror

      Thank you for not giving up on me no matter how intense a storm I create

      3, 2, 1

      Three pens

      Two journals

      One dedication to you

      I never realized how quickly I could drain a pen

      Or fill a page with purpose

      Until I met you.

      5

      Five days to speak to you

      Five weeks to ask you on a date

      Five months to make us official.

      I guess you wanted to keep tradition

      When you took five years to end us.

      2014

      What happened to handwritten letters?

      Genuine hugs and lingering kisses?

      When did it become okay to simply send a text abbreviating the most powerful gesture of saying I love you?

      When did romance die?

      Women wish for independence and equality, yet they spend days on the brink of insanity waiting for men to commit acts of chivalry.

      Men, with either cowardly or selfish intentions, disappear from their families, leaving behind their memories and presence only in old photos.

      Grandparents are no longer given the hard earned respect they so deeply deserve.

      They are shoved into homes because their children are too busy.

      Wasted stories of wisdom and simpler times.

      Ashamed, I represent my generation in hope that as we grow old, we will be wiser and change our ways before it's too late.

      adjusting

      My mind is empty

      And that scares me.

      No longer do my thoughts swim through rivers of confusion and clutter.

      No longer do sudden moments of excitement captivate me.

      The dark clouds continue to float above me, yet

      During times of bliss I am able to laugh a little lighter,

      Smile a little softer,

      And my embraces are true.

      I feel myself adjusting to life as I walk through it aimlessly.

      I never knew healing would make me feel so awkwardly and uncomfortably free.

      all along

      I'm really disappointed in this stranger's lifestyle and perception of everything,

      I had a higher expectation of them.

      But I guess all along,

      I knew who I was.

      manuela

      She's the most loving girl I've ever met.

      Never have I witnessed her being malicious as many people are

      Always putting herself second in order to keep the peace and make others happy.

      A piercing smile glistens across her face in every waking moment,

      But when no one is looking,
