Love Letter

How do I even start?

Do I summarize how we met?

How I like you?

Express my feelings?

How do I even start?

Start a love letter


1. Don’t drop the three words “I love you”.


Yeah, “I love you” but you may not believe it’s true.

Because “I love you” is so overrated that my “I love you” changes into “I hate you”. 

Many must have already told you that they love you, but my “I love you” is different. 

My I stands for the way you Ignite my heart whenever I see you. 

My L stands for the way you Look at me with a smile even on your worst day. 

My O stands for how Optimistic you are. 

My V stands for the Versatility that you have around my emotions. 

My E stands for how Enchanting you are when you’re expressing your feelings to me. My Y stands for Yelling and understanding each other after an argument.

My O stands for the Outraging feelings of you being right. 

And my U stands for the Ugliness in our relationship but still figuring out ways to fix it. 


2. Share your secrets


You are the closest.

The closest one that I’ll ever tell the bad things I have done in life.

Bringing you into my world.

The world that makes me want to hurl.

Sharing my mind

Hoping that you understand and won’t run away from me at times

Because I trust you

I believe in you

And maybe, maybe my overthinking is wrong

But when I tell you

Don’t run away

I beg you

Please stay


3. Things you want to do together


Maybe we’re far apart

Maybe we’re too busy to catch a glimpse of each other

Maybe it’s one of those days that I would want it to restart.

But, I want you to have at least 5 minutes with me

Far or near

To talk about our day

The way it makes us ache

For it to be done

So that we can go home 

Chat and just sleep

Watch movies together

Sit in silence staring at each other

Driving on the freeway in the middle of nowhere

Just us without a fear


4. The future with them


When I’m done we can run away

Live on the mountain where it sways

Swaying back and forth like our amazing and stressful day

I haven’t thought about it much, but all I want to do is to make you happy

Even when my days are bad

Now and then will be different

We’ll be wiser

More understanding

And when I’m done maybe we won’t have to run away to live on a mountain where it sways. 


Now, how do I even start?

Do I summarize how we met?

How I like you?

Express my feelings?

How do I even start?

Start a love letter


Hey love, 

I hate you.
