Love Letters to a Stranger 1

My Dearest:
It is raining just slightly now.
I have the windows open.

There is a cool breeze,
and the rain is bringing
in the scent of the lilacs from the garden.

I miss you!
Oh, my darling how those words sound so strange-
we've never spoke,
only shared a glance from a distance.
Yet,if I do not write you I will feel so lost.
We are strangers still.
I can assure you that,
that it is still only
because fate as not yet put us together.

I hope that you did not mind,
that I watched you.
I watched as a lover would watch over you.

If I close my eyes,
and place my hand over my heart-
I do imagine it beats as yours.

My soul as truly been illuminated
just by the sight of your smile.

Until, fate or faith my darling
