Letter
Alicia May Niehaus This is my letter to you. For the one who holds my heart. To the person I am happy to call mine. I could tear the world apart Just to know that you are near. I promise this till the end of time. If you need me, I'll be there any time. I guarantee you I'll always be near. You have overwhelmed by heart Now it hurts when we’re apart. I just ask you to please be careful with this heart of mine. With your hand in mine Forever becomes only a fragment in time. We’ll fight through anything trying to keep us apart. Your trust in me is the same as my trust in you. That is why I can rest my love on your heart Where it will stay till death draws near. I just can't help but smile whenever you're near. Just knowing that you call yourself mine Is the reason the top of my papers still have doodles of hearts. I don’t think there is enough time To express how much I love you. I won’t ever be the one to tear you apart. I can’t even remember when we were apart. The memories are still so near Of when I first ran into you. Or when you first put your hand in mine. You’ve been good to us, dear time Because even now, love has overpowered my heart. We both know the fragility of the human heart. I am giving you the power to completely tear me apart. But even after all this time, And even after death comes near I will trust you with this heart of mine. Because despite everything, it can only be you. So even when out hearts grow weak when death draws near And still when the beats come further apart, I will continue to hold your hand in mine. Through thick and thin, and the ups and downs, Till the end of time I promise to love you. Alicia May Niehaus is a Senior. She wrote this poem for Ms. Barbour's Poetry Today Elective Course.
