Dear, Insert Name Here

Love letters can be so sweet

They start off with the greatest words ever mentioned

To get one's attention

Dear, insert name here

Those words could almost cause one to tear

Just to hear

Dear, Insert name here

A term of endearment

A word meant

To convey closeness to the hostess

Or the one receiving this correspondence

Of the writer's fondness

Dear, Insert name here

And throughout eons of time

Writers have pined And penned

And declared again

Dear, insert name here

From Charles Baudelaire to Shakespeare’s

Writing and love have been an inseparable pair

Dear, Insert name here

Do you love me?

Check yes or no

This is the first love letter

That most of us know

From the little boy sitting in our the front row

Who would never tell us no

And would follow us everywhere we’d go

And then into adolescence we grow

And the writer’s pen

Changes again

As we begin

To discover

That some other

May convey love in a better way

So we compete for the attention of our love interest

Desperately fighting to hear

Dear, insert name here

And as more and more time passes

Our rose-colored glasses

Become dim

As we scarcely hear from him

Dear, insert name here

Often wondering Am I too fat

Am I too skinny

Is my hair too short

Are my issues too plenty

What did I do wrong ?

How can I fix it ?

I’ve done so much

I’m just guilty

Behold I stand at the door and knock

Says the writer of time

I knew you before you knew you

That I’d call you mine

Who’s concentrating on your appearance ?

I certainly am not

Who’s dwelling on your infractions ?

You say you did what?

Oh, I forgot

Do you know how big that sea is

That your sins have been cast in?

Your forgiveness is eternally

And perpetually penned

You never have to wonder

About my love for you

I checked yes in blood-red

The day my life was shed

On that cross

I saw a glimpse of you

And decided to

Follow you

To hell and back

Despite the fact

That you wouldn’t always openly accept my love

I wrote you a love letter

Did you get it?

Please tell me you didn’t miss it

With every chapter and every verse

My heart fully committed

And with every waking breath

I hope you hear it
