Prompt 54 A Vastly Important Secret – The Letter

graphic_web

Write, he said, I did

Again and again

Why?

What intrigues me?

How can his words so enamour me?

Weeks have past

My fear escalates

I know I must act

I cannot let this go on.

I reflect on my situation

I am but a fool to think

He would/might/possibly

Love me, like me,

Not when he learns my secret.

No deceit as nothing is promised

Save a few words across a vast distance.

But I cannot lead him to think otherwise

My heart has been awoken,

Why do I crave this man?

Its forbidden love I know

I didn’t ask for this, I didn’t see it coming

But my heart is his, I can feel and know it is.

I must end this for he will be devastated

Should I continue in this farce.

‘My story,’ I said. ‘You must read my story.’

Then decide to…I cannot say leave me

I cannot say end all this…but its reality.

I await his reply, if any that is

His silence may be message enough.

I am rigid, wretched, fearing the worst,

My revelation too much?

I have to accept his response.

I watch my screen, minutes pass

It seems an eternity, my mind races

Doubts, fears, reality, acceptance?

I wish!

I hear a cough from the other room,

My guilt heightens, what am I doing?

My screen blinks, his name pops up

I swallow, draw in breath, hesitate,

Open his reply, my eyes agape

My world changes there and then.
