Harold's letter found in his old blue briefcase

 


Foundation.


Have you ever found letters written in the past, and submerged yourself in the intriguing details?


Title:

Harold's letter found in his old blue briefcase


You always looked like a daydream


A beautiful young Katharine Hepburn 


A true African Queen 


With crow black hair and dark mesmerizing eyes 

That cried out and screamed 

 

I'm unique, 


The strongest independent woman you've ever seen.


So bend thy knee

And I'll show you some wild sights 

 

I know 

You've kneeled and prayed, every night, to see.


To make you mine


As I turn your whole world 

Right upside down 


So here's to you


My midnight African Queen, who makes me still go weak at my knees


Whenever I see your beautiful pictures


Just waiting for you to call me on 


(555) 555-1334 and come around


To knock on my front door so we can go around town, and paint it red 


When this

My only love letter is finally posted and found


And you hear my familiar voice 


Talking slowly in your head

As it is lovingly read
