Tessa



I want you to know I care and I miss you, it seems like just yesterday the last time that I kissed you, I hope your ok and this letter hasn't missed you ..

There's a couple of things that I want you to hear, no holding back just me sincere.

Ile never forget the first time that I saw you, the shock and the awe struck me to my core, my heart it exploded, all I wanted was more, that dress that you wore and the look in your eyes, no doubt about it one hell of a prize.  

I give away no tells with my stoic appearance, sometimes I feel I'm my own interference.
 
Just in case this is my final appearance. I want you to know that Ile always love you. regardless of time, regardless of distance, for the here, for the now and the rite in this instance

But I'm a human, a addict, I live a imperfect
existence. I'm like a old Volkswagen bus with a hole lot of dings, who's seen a hole lot of miles amongst other things.

Until my dying days, decrepit and old, a
Special place in my heart forever you'll hold, I just want you to know I care and I miss you.I hope your ok and this letter hasn't missed you.

About this poem

I sent this to my significant other knowing I was going away to serve a 4 year prison sentence and it was likely to be our last correspondence if she even received it at all..
