Dearest Mr.Massacre,
I don't know why I write letters addressed to figment characters with background personalities and hearts I could only wish to acquire. Do you know they've set my soul ablaze in conversations where nothing more was said but ' I miss you' ?
Maybe if the tides had changed instead of the hours upon the eve of daylight savings the cosmic forces would have shown me your face, in the light reflecting off the water in the bathtub where I can only think ' I'm sorry. '
I would love to say that I'm over the way you say my name and the conversations cut short because of intrusion or short comings. We had the connection, even if the phone didn't. Alas, we were land lined when we should have been air born. I'm not sure if you'd like to know what my mind wanders too when thinking of you. You're so sweet in your bitterness, I'd want to caress your lovely little lines away if you'd let me. If you'd let me in I'd let you do the same.
Yet again, these are just words on paper and visions to which my mind corrupts itself.
Yours Truly,
The Fallen Fey.

Sometimes, it is best to leave it at ' What If..'

The What If motif is a tale as old as time.
Warmest,

Yep, even the 35th time I read this, it amazes me. Magic flows from your mind, faery girl!

I don't often cry....but you made me.
Apart from the wonderful way it is written, I was in so many places
"I'd love to say i was over the way yous say my name..."
and then "I'm not sure if you'd like to know what my mind wanders too when thinking of you..."
and the "I'm sorry" ...
I want to steal so much of this . You have spoken for me too!

Aww that's darling. You can steal as much of it as you want. If I spoke for you than my words are your words.

K + M = Tru Luv?
If absolutely nothing else, this reeks of tortured love, only my favoritest kind. My Fallen Fey, you are lovely. Whether he knows or not.

Awesome
I can feel this one in my heart and gut. It's rare for me when that happens.
