In subsequent weeks i will publish a letter out of a series titled letters to a poet.
This is an unburdening of my soul, an outlet to express myself and declare my affection.
It was just a game...........or so i thought!!!
It started as a game-
I thought you had studied me so well that you could identify me in a crowd without even seeing me.So, to hear my voice and not recognise it was a blow to my ego and i decided to play a trick on you.
Alas you had other plans for me unknowingly.
You taunted, i reciprocated and so the texting war began.....
To the mystery lady you thought was “unknown” you revealed yourself- much more than i had ever known. You spoke of your search for love and despair, your achievements and loneliness and with each message i could feel myself sinking deeper and deeper...
You were just like me.........
I found myself looking forward to a message from you-it was one of the highlights of my day.
I was impressed with your wit, admired your achievements and was wowed by your talents.
I became adept in the role of the mystery lady and could sense your longing for the mysterious one with each message.
That was not the plan!!!!It was meant to be a trick, i would tease you about it later and we would laugh over it but i was intrigued. You unburdened yourself with no pretensions and i wondered if it was wise to reveal myself or continue to hide behind the cloak of mystery for a while...........
It makes me wonder -we reveal so much of ourselves when we think nobody is watching. An author once said we all have different faces, one we reveal to all and the other when we are alone.
It was a dilemma that i left to time.
Without knowing you i loved you but now I know you I cherish you-----
Signed: Moi
