Dear Man I Love,

I have a gift to offer you. It’s tiny and not worth much in the grand scheme of things, but it’s so very important to me. I have worked hard for this gift. I’ve broken my back for this gift day in and day out. I’ve had it for a long time and I’ve been waiting to give it to someone. I’ve been holding my breath for the right person. I’ve gone blue in the face from the wait. No one has been right before, not before now.

You see, this gift, is tucked away. I’ve hidden it because I’ve been afraid. Afraid that harm will come to it, afraid that someone will steal it and I will never get it back, afraid that no one would want it. But you, you, are very different. Something has clicked and the curtain has been drawn from where I have hidden this gift. It’s like I realized that I have been hiding the gift even from myself, it has been lost to me. It’s like the dust has been cleared from an old dirty window and light has come blaring in and I can no longer say that I do not see it anymore.

Suddenly, there is a beacon (a light) in the darkness.

If you haven’t caught on yet, this gift is my heart.

Love, A Hopeless Dreamer
