The Love Letter

Dearest
Do you know how much in love with you I am? Did I trip? Did I stumble - lose my balance, graze my knee, graze my heart? 
I know I'm in love when I see you. I know when I long to see you, I'm on fire. Not a muscle has moved. Leaves hang unruffled by any breeze. The air is still. I have fallen in love without taking a step. 
You are all wrong for me and I know it, but I can no longer care for my thoughts unless they are thoughts of you. 
When I am close to you, I feel your hair brush my cheek when it does not. I look away from you sometimes, then I look back. When I tie my shoes, when I peel an orange, when I drive my car, when I lie down each night without you, I remain... Yours.

The love letter. 1999
