Valentine's Letters 💖 part 3

Added 2025-03-08 18:42:54 +0000 UTC

The final batch is coming soon! (I'm splitting it up cause, tbh, there were a lot of letters, and I also want to manage to get some ball writing in 😮‍💨) There will be 4 parts in total!

I... was listening to love ballads on Spotify while writing these.

I think it shows...

They are sappy (in a good way!)

Here is one:

--------------------------------------

Dear Doctor J. Watson
When I first resolved to write you this Saint Valentine's Day, it had been with the intent to reveal to you the depth of my ardor and affection. However, the longer I thought of it, the more reticent I became. I beg you to forgive my cowardice. If your companionship were to stop or shift in any way, I am not sure I would survive the blow. I so cherish your steadfast company. Your keen mind and kind regard for all are such a balm to my heart. You are starlight; you have replaced the dark of my life and quietly filled it with your dazzling presence. You owe me nothing, dear Watson, and yet I hold hope that like the stars you so resemble, you too can wait patiently for me to find the courage to reveal my feelings to you. Until then and like always, my heart is in your gentle keeping.
Your ardent admirer

Their reply:

I do not know who you are, dear writer. But I know very well who I wish that you were. More than anything, I wish you were who I have in mind—who I always have in my mind, day and night, on good days, and more often, during the bad.
Dear writer… Let me pretend.
I have no address to return this to, so I beg you, cruel as it may be, let me pretend.
Let me pretend it is you. Let me imagine a world where such things could be true.
Where they love me.
As I love them.
The one who pretends.
J. Watson
P.S. I pray you pardon me for my weakness.
You, God, and all in between. Forgive me.
I had to write these words down.
Somewhere.
I love you.
