Letters of the Heart
Dear Claire,
I Miss you and need you. I can't wait much longer.
Its getting cold and dark. I'll come back tomorrow.
To stand by our tree. So we can run away and be free.
Yours Always,
Eric
Dear Eric,
I miss you so much. But my father is a riot.
Wont let me go no were. He's locked me in my room.
But I'll escape. I'll come see you. So wait for me.
Yours Truly,
Claire
My Lovely Clarie,
I'll Wait! If it takes forever, I will wait!
And we will never have to part again!
You are my love. For now and For ever.
Yours Always,
Eric
The day passed and Eric waited.
But there was no sign of Claire.
Eric bowed his head and slouched down.
"She said she would make it.
Whats keeping her so long?"
Just then a voice broke out.
"Eric!"
Eric lifted his head and saw his Love.
He ran to her with arms open wide.
He caught her in an embrace
And she held on to him As if to dear life.
"You must leave." She whispered in his ear.
He looked at her puzzled.
"My father isn't far behind.
If you won't leave, He'll shoot you down."
Claire's tears slide down her face
Begging him to go.
Eric smiled painfully
knowing it would only hurt her if he stayed
"I love you Claire. I always will.
From now to Forever.
Don't forget me.
I Love you Claire."
3 MONTHS LATER
Dear Claire,
I heard your married now. I'm happy that you found love again.
I haven't forgot you. And I never will.
Congratulations and farewell.
Yours Always,
Eric
20 YEARS LATER
Eric walks outside and sees a girl
She smiled at him and waved.
Claire. She looked so young and pretty.
Like she always did.
"Hello Mr. Eric.
My name is Maya. You knew my mother Claire.
I came to tell you thank you."
And she handed him a box.
The letters that he wrote and copies of her own
Tears filled his eyes.
As Maya went on by.
After 20 Years he finally got an answer.
After 20 years he finally got that Letter.
