Love Letters

My dearest Magdalene, I hope this letter meets you in good condition of health, if so doxology. I know you are wondering why on a clear blue-sky day like today you are receiving this missive from me. Well, wonder no more because you are the only flower blooming in the garden of love this afternoon. And in the night you are the only moon that makes the sky bright.

I want to use this letter to let you know how much you mean to the life of my existence. If loving you is a crime, I want to be guilty. If loving you is a sin, I refuse to repent. My love for you is as constant as the northern star. Until now I have been drinking tea without sugar, but your beauty is sweeter than honey. All I am saying is: I want you to be mine forever because I can no longer live without you.

Please I hope you consider this humble and simple request because my life will never be the same again if you say no. I anticipate your favourable reply very soon please.

Your one and only,

Belasco De Hill.

This article at 234next.com gave me some good laughs and brought back merry memories of dark nights, kerosene lanterns and sweatless hotness while I struggled to compose a love letter to an imaginary girl I had fallen in love with, brown skin and a toothful smile, she was perfect. But I went to a boy's only secondary school and the nearest human community was 4km away. That was before the days of txt msgs and kalz, when boys played at been men and girls were virgins. Now I know why they called them the good ol' days.
