To Miss Moore
Some things may seem to last forever
Of times when things were happier than ever
Something's may never be the same
But my love for you will always remain and for that I'll never be ashamed
I know we've both been through so much pain
Danced crying all alone
Trying to smile in the midnight falling rain
But through it all
Despite the fall
My love still persists and always calls
Even through all this pain
Memories of us sat together
Still sings a strange sweet symphony
Which will last for the rest of the time
From here to eternity
Like the Holy Trinity
Filled with happier times when you were all mine and true love
Despite social standing
Wealth or the view of others
Wasn't a love crime
Maybe we can start again
And just be friends as our broken hearts slowly mends
Maybe
A five-letter word filled with such hope
I just kneel and pray
One day
You'll find your strength to let me in that old wooden front door
On your white picketed fenced street
To help you cope as we no longer need to pretend
It's why I've sent you this love letter
So you can see my love revolving in its words
Like a literary kaleidoscope
Awaiting that beautiful moment when you finally find the courage
To see what's inside this personal envelope
Forever yours, William Doors.
Dated 1884.

A dash of fun as I relax.
The past generation had such style.
Handwritten love letters must have been such a wonderful surprise.
Salute.
