Hello, My Sweet

Love Letter Series

By Mercedes ChavezPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Hello, my sweet

I hope you know, I'm not going anywhere

The only thing that could make me walk away from you

It would be if you asked me to

If you fell out of love with me

Or if you found someone you feel is right for you

Or if you ever think I'm not who you want to be with

Whatever the reason

Only you could tell me to walk away

Because I would never choose to

I choose you

And I will continue to choose you every day

When I dream, I dream of a life with you

You're who I want to wake up to

Who I want to fall asleep next to every night

Every beautiful moment, every sad moment

And every moment in between

Until my last breath

I want to spend with you

I understand your fear

I understand your restraint

When I hold my hand across your chest

I can feel how damaged your heart is

But with every laugh and smile we share

I feel it heal, little by little

I know I can't heal everything

But I can be there for you every step of the way

I told you that I don't find myself losing who I am being with you

And I want to stay true to that

I will support you in everything you want to accomplish

Every dream you have, I will help to make it a reality

But there is a dream that I have had for as long as I can remember

And I'm not sure I'm ready to give up on it

I can only hope you understand.

Truly yours,

Sweets
