Third Feb-Ibig: I wrote three love letters for three different girls.
I tried to remember things in my life. One of them is love letters. Had you written one? Or received it when you were young? Do you still remember the person who gives it to you? Do you still keep it within you until this moment? I think I wrote three for different people, within that letters nothings had sent to them. The long lost love letter for sure.
I am a 1999 year baby and lived in a rural area where gadgets weren't yet for everyone at that time. Phones still are the hard Nokia that is durable and heavy to hold, but when you had that phone when I was still a young stage boy, it meant that you were rich and could afford that, because none of us ordinary people could.
Still fresh in my mind is how I have seen my classmate received a love letter. Like everyone else we always teased a girl and boy when we found out. I am one of the dudes who grab the letter and read it out loud to the whole class. I remember the girl grabbing my hair for what I have done haha. Because I am a tall boy, of course, it's hard for her to do so. Yes, I am one of the bullies, just a little bully I guess.
Of Course, a love letter wasn’t that perfect, grammar incorrect and word usage added with ugly penmanship that is hard to read. Even it was a Filipino (Tagalog) for we are all native local speakers. That’s the best thing of being a small child, for we don’t care about the grammar, spelling but were just being happy and play along.
I also wrote mine, but I was teenager that time. My first love letter subject is my first crush when I was in second-year high school but I wrote it when we were third year. I never sent that to her, no one ever read what was inside that letter. I wrote that letter because she was the one that gave me the feeling of being jealous.
Yeah I was angry as a teenager seeing my crush crush with others, they are happy and laughing like they know each other, or they had affairs. I don’t know but because I was too discreet and anonymously falling in love, I chose just to ignore haha.
But I made a letter, telling her how I was stunned by her charms and many more things that I loved about this girl. When I was done, I kept the letter within me, graduated high school and never met again haha. Well she made my high school memorable then.
The second was First-year college, freshman age that was shy and timid at the side. There is a charm that I can't resist to a girl who was silent the whole day. Silent yet bomb, because she was so smart. I always tell her how smart she is, so she could give me a sheet of her assignments. That made us friends.
When we became friends, the spark lost. Maybe because I don’t want to lose a friend if something ever happened so the feeling becomes gone. But I wrote a letter to her at that time. Telling what really happened at the first meeting and if she always teased me by pitching my skin. (I mentioned it in my first article this month). But like every letter, I never sent it to her.
Third one was my past relationship. Of Course things happened and I met her with a full heart. I made a letter through messenger and sent it to her but after a few minutes, I unsent it haha. So she never read what was that.
That might explain why I loved writing, but was afraid to show it to people. I wrote a lot when I had time but I never sent it to them, because I think I was not supposed to send it.
How about you, what was your story about love letters? Does anyone give you some?.
It's an amazing part of being a teenager or bachelor that engaged in such things, until now I still remembered it until now it was part of my life.
Love letter spoked something, secret might reveal with a piece of paper. The words that count the moment when the first day we saw them, the first jealousy and most of all the first time you felt what love was.
Falling in love is a wonderful thing in this world, but of course I am young and I know my priorities back then, to study and study harder. So I never sent those letters, I never mentioned what was inside. I kept it within myself, and I think I will never regret doing that haha.
You can write your love letter story too and tag me so I also had an idea, thanks for reading…
Perhaps I would be so happy if someone ever wrote love letter to me then 😃 I felt I was ugly then which made the boys not get attracted to me. Lol But I have witnessed some students passing lov letters to themselves even when teacher was in class but none ever caught them.
