A Love Letter To Hate

Folder: 
Love

Hello Hate,

    

     How have you been? I've been well, considering we are no longer together. I must say that I still spend a great deal of time thinking of you, but that doesn't  mean I want to reconcile and get back together. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you, for whatever reasons.



    Today was one of those days, I thought about you while I was at the 'Soul Sanctuary Cafe' having a cappuccino with Tenderness and Joy. I know you don't care for them much but I find them such a pleasure to be around. Besides I was in such a gregarious mood after being stuck in the house for so long, I needed something to lift my spirits.



    Anyways, Tenderness turned out to be such a riot, as usual. She made me laugh so loud and hard that it made me cry. Of course, you know Joy she had to catch my falling tears. I guess it was really obvious that I was not completely over you and I. Comfort must have been watching us from a corner table, he walked over, sat down and gave me a big hug. I cried a little more and laughed even harder.



    Before I forget I saw your friend Misery. Yeah, he walked in with a couple of his boys, you know he is never alone. He was in the company of Sorrow and Discontent, and even introduced them to our entire table. We spoke of course, we had nothing but compassion for them all, because they looked so pitiful. They pranced around the cafe bothering others by making jokes, and causing a disturbance. They made it very hard for others to enjoy themselves. Hate, it was almost as if you were there.



    Anyways, after they left our table Tenderness and Joy continued to cheer me up in the most fascinating ways. They told me more jokes, stories of pleasure, and we even made travel plans together. Then guess who walks in, yes Happiness, the entire cafe lit up with a glow from the heavens. Our entire table searched the room looking for the indignant trio, we only saw the backs of their heads as they scurried for the door. I believe they could not handle the pressure of all of us in one room at the same time. Once they made their exit, the entire cafe went up in cheers, it was obvious that we all felt the same about your friends. At that time the DJ opened the dance floor and we danced until we became so light on our feet that we were floating in the air.



     Through all of this and more I still miss you. I constantly think about you. Everything I do seems to mentally or emotionally involve you somehow someway. I knew from the beginning that we wouldn't last, but it is in my nature to hope. I know now that it could not work. Still I miss you. I knew that it is impossible for you to love as I do or at all. But it is in my nature to endure, and you wouldn't let me. Still I miss you. It is in my nature to embrace with open arms, heart, and mind, and I knew that you would hurt me intentionally. Still I miss you.



Loving you always,

How did I miss this one?
I lived it! I loved it.
Absolutely awesome!
I felt as if you were looking within me and writing a past emotion, as if untangling a web of confusion and bringing clarity and manageability to a host of thoughts and feelings.
Exellent!

I had a lot of fun reading this one too. Enjoyed your personification of emotion, yes they did come alive for me, and I saw how I relate to them in my own way. It helps to isolate emotions, then you can think your way through an emotional roadblock.

Thanks,

Ken
