SOLITARY PIECE



Dear Rolan,


It’s been months from now since I have written a love letter (if that’s the right word to describe this). You know that I would willingly write a million letters than to talk things with you over in just one night. However, these past few days, I haven’t written anything. Perhaps, I was just too lazy to think or maybe I’m just too tired, juggling between school and work. But this doesn't mean I stopped expressing my love for you. My love will remain even if I’m at a loss for words.

Reading the novel “The Notebook”, my eagerness to write returned. I was envious of the words of love expressed by the main characters of the story. I may sound so dramatic but I know that you know I am a melancholic being, hiding behind words
.
We’ve been into serious fights lately yet we were able to end it right. We still have a lot of things to work out  - defining differences and understanding  them , but I know we can do it.
I am happy being with you and I feel safe when I am with you. However we are separated by distance, the only truth I hated so much. But then you will just tell me softly – “be patient. I’ll come home soon”.

A man so gentle and kind like you is someone I would not want to loss. For I know I cannot find another who cares and loves me with all his heart. No limits. No boundaries. Love beyond horizon. Love even after death.

I know my love will not be equal as yours yet I never heard you complained. In fact, you filled it with your own love and I hope you will never get tired of me.

There is no one besides you because there is no one like you. You are my lover and my hero who saves me from the depths of my loneliness. You are my happiness. You are my shield from those who want to hurt me. You are my strength when I’m at my weakest. I could never dare to love another because it’s a shame to think that someone could replace you. I would rather fight with you, wounded and bleeding, rather than win and savor triumph with someone else.

Others may doubt, skeptic of this relationship but I will only ask them –“is your love like ours?” or just another story of slavery caused by your own love?” I pity them for they will spend the rest of their lives with remorse and wishes, unlike ours – wallowing in satisfaction and bliss.
This may be my last letter for now but please know my love for you is forever.

                                                                                                                                                                                Love,

                                                                                                                                                                                Goldy
