A Love Letter
Year:
2024
What will we be doing in another universe? Will we meet and fall in love? Will 'love letter' start with an 'L'? Will there even be an 'us'?
Now, I know you arrived with autumn and had me at this moment, sitting by the window and reading my comic instead of all the other books from the shelf in an empty classroom after school. Do you also feel something start to bud when the first autumn leaf falls? It's itchy before it's burning.
"Shall we go to my place to study?" You must expect me to ask, as we have been doing so for the last month. But you don't know and would never have guessed that I want to say more than that today. I want to give you the pink rose I preserved with the summer breeze, with my letter sealed with a heart as the autumn leaves turn red and I blush. Maybe the softening sunlight that I bask in or the light wind touching your hair has inspired me to do so.
