Love Is

I have been cleaning my room and came across some letters I received back in the summer of 2004. I read through them, then turned to face my computer. This is what happened next.

Love is the eight page letters you read while far away in an unfamiliar place. Love is what you feel when defeated, and then see her face. Love lasts forever, but only for one. As time continues for the one who has no one else, it easier to keep that love pure, to keep the fire burning. Yet, for those who have to deal with life and the reality that they are alone, any small amount of affection can shake the foundation and let doubt seep in.

Love is the eight page letters you write, while you read her letters that have dwindled to a page and a half. Love is feeling that there is something happening, but trusting that she stays faithful. Love lasts forever, but only for one. As time continues, you become a faded memory in her mind, a love that did not last. For you though, it is the love you will always remember, the love you yearn for,keeping your foundation solid and your faith strong.
