love letters are better than poetry



My darling,

Do not imagine, because you find these lines in your journal that I have been trespassing. You know I have not - and where else shall I leave a love letter? For I long to write you a love-letter tonight.

You are all about me - I seem to breathe you, hear you, feel you in me and of me.

What am I doing here? You are away. I have seen you in the train, at the station, driving up, sitting in the lamplight, talking, greeting people, washing your hands... And I am here - in your tent - sitting at your table.

There are some wall-flower petals on the table and a dead match, a blue pencil and a Magdeburgische Zeitung. I am just as much at home as they.

The love letter just warmed my heart. It's like in the Sex and the City movie when Big sends Carrie all the love letters!

Gorgeous photographs. And the love letter is absolutely amazing. Makes me want to receive a few to the nonexistent lovers I currently have.
