Letter

I love you.
As I look at these words, they seem utterly inadequate to convey the depth of my feelings.
Perhaps they could convey more if I could say them looking straight into your eyes. Perhaps, you would realise what I mean if you looked deep into my heart.
Can words ever describe what I feel for you? Even my mind doesn't understand the depths from which these words have come, so how can yours? So listen with your heart.

Your deep eyes ask me, "What is it that you love in me?" I tried to find an answer and failed miserably..only to understand that you asked me to gather the beauty of flower by plucking its petals. I shall not try to please your vanity by singing false praises. I agree that you may not be the most attractive, but I believe that you are the most beautiful.

I will adorn my words with robes of simple true feelings. No claims of luxuries will I make, only promise of sharing everything I will have. In the end, its not about you or me; Its about us. How can I can match the simple beauty of yours with expensive diamonds? So, I leave the fresh flowers covered in dew that I gathered waiting all night, at your doorstep.

When the heart speaks what is there left to say? So, I leave you alone with these words so that you may listen to them in silence...while I wait with a hand outstretched in hope that you shall come one day.

You could call me your alter ego.

[I once wrote something similar to this as an undergrad for a...........love letter writing competition!!! Time has only brought a few changes to it, even though I tried to be faithful to the original. Needless to say it didnt win any prize and remains undelivered till date :D ]
