On rereading love letters
Medium header
Yesterday I had this intention - to reread the first (and also the last) love letter I've written to a person. It's been 3 years now. We don't talk.
Now while reading it I see how beautiful it is, and how beautiful that act of letting someone to see themselves through your eyes is.
I received the answer to my letter that time, the person said they felt very ashamed. Still I wonder what was it like for them to read the letter for the first time. Did I somehow change the perception of me? Did they truly see me at that moment? I was very honest and I was very hurt.
What is three years, it is nothing. You barely put yourself together. Sometimes I still think about them. I don't know what it was that made me so in awe of them.
Is there such a person who can truly understand a love letter? I hope that in 10 years maybe, I can understand it and let it be.
