Break the seal

from me

No occasion. Just you.

Sealed with a kiss

your hands, on the station platform

Before you read it

Scratch the lipstick heart. The kiss goes on the letter, and what's underneath is yours to keep.

One kiss, pressed onto paper at 1:14 am. It's yours now. 💋

Scratch the lipstick

Written at 1 am, by the desk lamp

My dearest ⁠you⁠,

I tried to write this four times. You can see the other three on the next page, crossed out, because I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. What I wanted to say is simple: the world is softer with you in it, and I am braver. Even your terrible coffee tastes like Sunday morning, and I would not trade a single cup.

Yours, entirely

The three I crossed out

One was a poem. One was mostly apologies.

Dear ⁠you⁠,

I don't know how to say this

Roses are red, I am an idiot

Sorry, sorry, sorry

I love you. That was all I meant.

me, fourth attempt

Tucked in the pocket

One last formality

Receipt for one kiss

  1. The undersigned has received one (1) kiss, by letter.
  2. It may be returned in person, with interest.
Signed, ⁠you⁠

Seal your reply

Choose your wax. I'll know it's from you.

Sending one back. Sealed 💋

Send it sealed
