Letter 0f Love Poem by louis rams

After many years I picked up my pen to write
A letter to a long lost friend.
We grew up together she and I, together we
Laughed, we joked and at times we cried.
Then her and her family moved away
I searched for her night and day.
Like most teens in school we knew each other
By first name, as I searched - it seemed in vain.
When one of her friends I happened to see
And her address and name was given to me.
With tears in my eyes I started to write and my
Heart was filled with delight.
My feelings poured out on to the paper!

" I fell in love with you from the start- you captured
My soul and my heart.
A happiness I never felt before until you walked into that door..
I don't know if you feel the same way too, but my heart
Belongs to only you "

Two days later I received a reply
" I'm sorry I never got to say good-bye "
My feelings for you are the same and maybe I'll
Get to carry your name.
We'll meet in college and start again for I love you
Much more than a friend.

The college years went by fast and we knew our love would last
Careers we both have now, and we took our wedding vows
Our love letters we put away for our children to read some day.
