lines that i found from my great-grandfather's love letters
i have found you to be the beautiful realization of my cherished illusion— my dream ideal.
i didn't even like to bid you goodbye because i don't want to add to the poignant reality of separation.
i could have told you before, but my tongue finds no strength, my heart senses no courage to beat at the thought of revealing to what i feel and what you may look upon with disdain.
at last i have found you, no longer in my daydreams, but in living reality.
i've only got one life to live and i might as well make the most of it with you.
