It started with a simple greeting though odd as it may have seemed

We talked and laughed and enjoyed our meeting and it all felt like a dream

You made me forget that I was breathing and breathless I may have been

Every moment with you was filled with laughter, to the point it hurt my spleen

The first time you sent me your photo you were surely shy

I told you, "You're beautiful." and you thought that was a lie

And then you called me on the phone and I consoled you while you cried

It hurt my heart to hear your pain, it left me thinking why

Who would hurt a soul like yours, you're like the sweetest being

And why'd the world place you in those undesired scenes

Why wasn't I around could I have taken you away

Could I have showed you a better life if we had met a former day

It's been but a while yet it it feels like we've known each other forever

We haven't even reached the peak or gone through storms we'll need to weather

The road ahead can come with many bumps for worse and better

And I hope you feel the weight in gold with the words up in this letter
