Hey Future Love,

I didn’t know how to start this letter
Dear, or hello, couldn’t decide which sound better.
I went for the informal because I’m not trying to impress
Try to make it laid back so there’s no need to stress.
I know I don’t know your name—but someday I hope
We’ll meet on the street and no longer be alone.
Sometimes I gaze up at the stars and imagine how it will be—
Where will it happen? Will you just turn and look at me?
Will we discover the meaning of “love at first sight?”
Perhaps it will take one or two nights—
Laying out under the stars and discovering the mysteries
Asking questions that have eluded the minds of many for centuries.
Maybe it will be our laughter that floats in the air—
That makes us turn in the right direction, at that moment, right there.
Our eyes will meet, and it will be just like in a movie
We’ll smile at each other, and you’ll ask me out for a cup of coffee.
Oh the possibilities, they haunt me in my sleep
All the secrets I want to share but for now I keep.
Each poem I write makes me somehow feel closer to you
Based on emotions that I know to be true.
When life gets me down, I look up at the night sky
For a long moment, I’m silent but eventually I’ll sigh—
Someday we’ll meet, and it’ll be like we had never been apart
Because you know when you’ve found the one
That completes your heart.




I look at the letter, tears roll down my cheeks
I rest my head on my pillow, and try to sleep.
Slowly the letter slips from my hands—
Tumbles to the ground, but the wind has other plans.
Out the window, it soars through the night
Travels the world in its magnificent flight—
And gets caught in a branch, outside his room;
Where inside he is dreaming of the love to come soon.

NO WAY. It ends there? Yes, it ends there. Want to know why?


Because who ever wants to...can finish it! w00t...


yunno, like...perhaps have it so the guy finds the letter, maybe change the perspective, be creative? -shrugs-

then you just submit it as a deviation (with your part alone and then in your comments link to this, and then tell me and I'll link back...which I think will be cool)


So yup. that's my idea. Anyone can do it.

And perhaps for some strange reason a bunch of people think this is ALL THE RAGE...everyone can attempt, and for the best one, perhaps a prize? ^^; Oh yeah. That's right. But don't just do it for the prize, because that'd make me sad. Do it because it's...fun? -shifty eyes-


Anyway, enjoy. My icky half. lol

The illusion is that you are simply reading this poem.
The reality is that this is more than a poem. -Bukowski
