A Valentine's Day letter...


Okay... I am a bit late with this year's love letter (here is last year's letter)... but I figure it is better late than never...




To my darling Patience,

I cannot really say that I miss you because I never really 'had' you in the first place.

You are the one that got away.

You remain, always, almost within my grasp, just slightly out of reach, a fleeting shadow seen out of the corner of my eye.

There are times when I think that I finally understand you, when I finally catch you, only to have you vanish like smoke after the slightest provocation. Come to think about it, you are a bit of a tease.

You are one of my greatest regrets.

And, I do not want to live with regrets.

I would really love to forge a relationship with you. Nothing ephemeral, something solid that we can build on for the future.

So what say you? Will you help me my darling? Show me your ways. Hold my hand when I want to scream and yell; or, help me take cool, deep breaths when my temper flares.

I do not think I am a lost cause. I will try very hard to work on our relationship. So please, stop running, stay still, and let us see what sort of future we can have together.

Waiting patiently for your reply...

Love,

Me.
