I once vowed never to write a love letter again after parchment burned my soul’s ink over the years, yet I find myself breaking this vow for you. The years have come and gone, but we still strong within each other through it all. Love has come and went. We have even lost friendships including our own at some point in time. Trust been lost, even if it wasn’t ours; there has been some major obstacles that we’ve conquered. There have been times when I thought I knew you, just as well as where, other times you’ve thought the same about me, but we worked through it thought; we’re still strong within each other…
 
I didn’t write this to script corny lines or stroke egos, my love for you is not that. REAL love is not meaningless words or falsified emotion, I will not tell you what you want to hear; I will not lie for us, it’ll only hurt us in the long run. I want to show you that you are worthy of my precious time and the words that I say to you. I want to tell you all that you deserve, even if it hurts a little because that’s all I’ve ever done for you; just given all that you deserve. There have been times where you ignored, became defensive or sought escape from me, from us, but, the thing is, you can’t hide or tuck away from genuine love because no matter where you run or whoever you run to, you’ll be reminded of how good this love is. You’ll always reminisce on the words I once told you. You’ll always look back and remember how deep this love flows because this love is endless. You can run forever, to all ends of the world, but, the truth of you and I will always be imprinted within you; within us.

Over time I learned not to run because of you. Over time I observed your ways, your intriguing movements and intoxicating words… Flow you’re a damm drug… and over time I corrected myself because I used to wonder whether if this was healthy with the love you prescribed me with, but, over time I realized I am not weak because I am vulnerable to you. My vulnerability to you is my trust in its highest form and for that to be is exact reason of why I love you. I loved you every time you looked in the mirror running your fingertips along each scar in silence because our eyes spoke. I loved you through the screams and agony of immobilized limbs in your first steps. I loved you when you hated me for the decisions we made in the past. I loved you before you even knew we existed; I’ve always been there…

 There are some things in life we may come across that we lose ourselves into. There may be some things we come across that will attempt to break us apart, but baby, the tears we shed are only the rain from the storm we found clarity within, and here we are still strong within each other… It’s time to let go of the pain, you’ve held onto it for too long

It’s time to let go Flow… because I love you

“If you wrote a love letter to you, what would you say?”

In 150 words, I was able to get friends of mine to write a love letter to themselves along with my very own personal love letter. This exercise was to intrigue thoughts of how the perception of yourself. So, take a look, and if you want, add your own in the comments below

Dear K

I’m grateful for your presence. You face is the first thing I see in the morning and the last at night. Your flaws make you perfect in my eyes because I know that there is only one you. You were created to flood this world with your open heart and love. I know sometimes life can get scary but know that God is always there to walk you through your trails. He is your creator so therefore he knows His work. You are a master piece. Let faith lead and guide you for you were created to do great things. 

My love for you grows with every passing second. You are the love of my life. I promise to protect you, guide you, and understand you. I will always be honest with you no matter how much it hurts. True love is always honest and you’d be nothing less than what’s true. With the help of God I will stay true to my words and continue to put your first and love you best.

Sincerely,

 K

Dear Me,

God has blessed you with 40 years on this earth, good health, 3 beautiful children and a faithful and devoted husband. You’ve been given these things because you are meant to have them. It’s no accident.

Your cocoa brown skin still has a youthful smoothness and glow even under the pressures of motherhood, marriage, and work. Even though you’ve packed on some pounds over the years, you’ve also added confidence, wisdom and maturity which give you “grown woman” sexiness.

You are a baaaad sistah! Own it!

Love,
Me

Dear Lovely,

You are truly magnificent and it’s sad how you fail to see it sometimes. Baby, we’re in this together. No matter where you go I will always be there (literally). If only some people had the traits you have than this world JUST might be a better place. My love for you is profound and I’m not too sure how I can convey my words to you so you’re able to understand. There may be some fighting, some anger and even mean things said but it’s human nature. Don’t you ever lose yourself nor lose sight of your goals in life. God has big plans for the both of us. Let’s go live this thing called life together.

The One Who Will Always Be There,
Your Self Conscious

Dear Me,
 
I Love You; Mind, Body, and Soul. I would like to express to you the significance you have in the creation of me. Without you I wouldn’t be the woman I am today, nor the woman I shall be tomorrow. I’ll always have faith in you wholly because you have faith in us.

You Are So Beautiful: Mind, Body, and Soul. You looked beyond my imperfections and helped me to see the beauty in myself. I have confidence because you taught me that if I don’t love myself, who will? You showed me why they should, how I could, love me for me. My devotion to you is forever indebted.
I won’t ever leave you, because despite our trials and tribulations, you wouldn’t give up… Not even when I felt you slipping. Stand firm baby, for you and I. What’s another lifetime? We’ve survived all this time.

I Love You & You Are So Beautiful: Mind, Body, and Soul. Always & Forever. XOXO
