Letters To You

19.

If you let me have you, I vow to protect you from life. Death will grovel in front of you and Gods will beg. I'll tell time to stop if you let me near you. Let me love you, my darling, for I'll not love you for your body but your soul. I'll make Aphrodite jealous of your smile, Apollo a servant to your warmth, and Athena a mere mortal in front of your wits. I'll silence every word ever spoken to just hear your silence. I'll blind every light just to see your darkness. I'll throw away every smile to just see your tears. I'll see you, my love, as the epitome of perfect. Let me love you once, I'll give you what you deserve and thank every element if you even smile at me once. I'll let my heart break and my soul shatter if it meant I could look at you even once. Hope will cry, fortune will praise, and luck will scoff at me, for the intense desire I feel for you. I long for your essence to be etched in me, my heart. Let me hold you. Let me love you.
