Dear Marisa
I never thought I could really love someone as much as I love you. We started out as friends, just talking, but over the last couple of weeks I've truly fallen for you, head over heels. You're not one who can admit how you feel, but I believe somewhere in your heart you have feelings for me, too. I know you would not have just wasted your time for nothing. You know I care. You're the only person who could ever put joy in my heart and a smile on my face.
I don't want you to leave me. I told you, I'd wait for you if you got sent away and that's the truth. You said if that ever happened to me, you would wait for me, too. I hope that's the truth, too. I will always love you. I can't see myself with any other woman but you. That's the truth. I'm in love with you.
I'm writing to let you know how I feel about you. I don't know how to tell you face to face, so I am going to put my feelings into words now. Since the day I met you, I haven't been the same. My feelings just can't be tamed. I am starting to care for you in a different way. I think of you every day! I love everything about you! Your smile, your eyes, your hair, your body--I hope you are getting the point. I can't get you off my mind. You have me feeling foolish. I know you may not feel the same, but my feelings just keep growing for you each and every day. Well, what I am trying to tell you is that I am falling in love with you--yes, this is true! But I'll understand it if you don't feel the same. I just have to let you know how I really feel. This is no whim; my feelings are real and genuine.
My fingers slide across your skin,
Discovering your countries,
Touching every crevasse and peak
Gliding along the paralyzing landscape that is you.
Slowly, beautifully,
I learn your native language
And I speak to you fluently, without sound
Flawless communication
The kind only passion can produce
The intimate features
That are mine to explore
The topography of your body
