I was walking down the streets of town the other day ,when the weirdest thing happened. I was meeting up with a friend at one of those nice coffee shops in town. We were going to catch up over a cup coffee but before I got there I stepped on something that stuck under my shoe. I hadn’t noticed it till I got to the coffee shop. As I sat down to order my cappuccino, I noticed an envelope stuck on my shoe . Since my friend was late as usual I decided to open up the envelope . In it was a letter.

It started out like this ” Hi, I’d like to introduce myself . I don’t think it’s necessary as am sure after reading this letter you’ll definitely know who I am. This is not just a letter to you but a confession written deep within the walls of my heart. I know what you may think ,this is cheesy, I fully agree it is but sadly its the state am currently living in.” Damn! Just from the first few lines of this letter I knew I’d made the right choice. Perhaps the letter had the right answers I came to seek from my friend.

” I thought I knew what the meaning of love was . I actually believed in my definition but apparently you showed me the reality of it all. Love to me used to be about sacrifice but just like a compass you set me back to the right direction. You showed me love is a bond . A partnership and most important a union. For us to truly be in love we had to find a balance .We shed our individual self and became one. I guess its safe to say I was lost but you brought me back .I am so glad you are my light house because now you and me can find a shore to anchor.”

I know the feeling. Am speechless too guys. Have I been wrong about love all along? At this point i definitely had to continue reading I had to answer this question.

“Let me start off by saying thank you. Thank you because you have the prettiest smile on earth that left a warm glow in my heart. Bless you for having the sweetest voice on earth that pierced through the iron walls of my heart. Thank you for having the prettiest eyes that are not only a window to your soul but also a view point to my future.Thank you for the gentle touch of your skin that lit a fire in my heart and made it beat again. Most of all thank you for filling the empty beating heart with love and affection through your compassion adoration and care.“

“Right now am at my table trying to find the best way I could break it all up to you. A way to show you that with the short time we’ve been together I’ve managed to become the best version of myself and it’s not because I did not know who I was but because you showed me there is more to me than my fading eyes could show. Am busy trying to figure out how to tell you that to me you are my world.I know it sounds crazy to think that right now . If there is something being with you has shown me is all it takes to get the world is time, patience and most important of all is effort.”

I stumbled on to a gold mine as this stranger seemed more connected to me. More than anyone else I’ve ever known. In just a few paragraphs he’d opened my eyes to the truth.

“So lets just say this is me trying. I write this letter not only to let you know how i feel but also to let the world know that indeed its true. I LOVE YOU maybe it is the first time i get to tell you this but its a first for the world you and me create. A world defined by our losses, wins, mistakes and best of all a world we built together. Am guessing by now you know who i am, i just hope I wasn’t too cheesy.“

Wow! I folded the letter and put it back in the envelope . My coffee had ran cold since I was so lost in the words of the letter. I guess I might never know who wrote it but it felt authentic.

It was a letter from the heart. Mr. Coffee Pot signing out.
