#fwletters

Love,

Thank you for bringing her to me. You know my reverence for the dead, nearly as well as I know your fear of them. The 나비 sleeps among the flowers now.

Darling,

That would be paradise forever my love, better to me than the idea of heaven. Sending you a butterfly I found in the garden today. I found its body lying under the pansies, a flash of blue in the corner of my eye. When I discovered the poor creature had perished, my first thought was to send him to you. I know of your fascination with the earth creatures and your predilection for giving them proper respect and burial in death. Perhaps you will give this butterfly the same treatment as so many others.

Love,

If I were given a wish, from a genie or leprechaun or tossing a coin in a well, it would be to spend eternity with you in that orchard. We would forever have the sun on our faces, warming the soil under the blanket we lay on as we feasted on the foods in our basket and the trees above.

Darling,

I’m glad. Our meeting today was the first to bring a smile to my lips in longer than can be remembered. The sight of you is as sweet as the honey we spread on our bread and our distance as sour as the cherries we plucked from the trees in the orchard.

Love,

I know. You never mean to hurt me, and truthfully you never have. Your fists are too light on my skin and your words have no hope of piercing my heart, held back as they are. I’m sure, dear, that if I truly angered you and was deserving, you would flay me within an inch of my life. All the same, that is not something you would ever do.

Darling,

I’m sorry for what I said today. It was rude of me. I never meant to hurt you. Please write me soon, I’m looking forward to our upcoming time together.

A collection of short letters. Each letter will be short (think quick snippets of conversation and stolen glances).

The entire collection will likely be roughly 12 or 14 parts, each a small exchange captured by paper.

The collection tag is #fwletters if you want to find them all in one place.
