6 September 1940 (What day is it, even?)
Dear Paul,
From the day you came into my kitchen with that basket of cabbages, you’ve been there. Always with me, like the wind. But that first time I found a letter from you in the post, my heart leapt as it never had before. You rushed right over me and I knew I was in love.
I wish you were here with me to feel the wind. It’s poetry in itself.
Love,
Maisie

Sue,
May 22, 1916

Do you remember what you said to me when we first met at King’s Cross? The very first words you spoke? You glided over to me and, as I was struggling to think of something intelligent to say, you said, “There you are.” I often think of that, Sue. Here I am. No matter where I am in the world, “Here I am.”

I’ve never read Mark Twain, but I agree that Poe is thrilling. I remember reading “The Tell-Tale Heart” as a girl one night, in bed with a candle stub I pilfered from church. I was certainly punished for stealing the candle, because after I finished the book and blew out the candle, I couldn’t sleep a wink. I was quite positive that I heard the beating of the heart downstairs.

A chance letter that began years of correspondence… depending on the workings of the post, they wrote to each other more often than the tides and the phases of the moon. Not even the war could halt what had begun between them.

I should have told you, should’ve taught you to steel your heart. Taught you that a letter isn’t always just a letter. Words on the page can drench the soul. If only you knew.

Ça va... J'essaie de me remettre après la catastrophe qui s'est produite... Une seconde d'inattention peut coûter toute une histoire.. Mais bon.... les vrais souvenirs restent dans le cœur, pas seulement dans l'écriture..Le temps est devant nous, pour d'autres souvenirs. ..

A few years ago, when I tried to delete the cache, I ended up deleting my account.

Tão romântico, Maria querida. Espero que esse Amor se mantenha feliz…
Beijinho, linda 😘
Tem um ótimo dia 💕
Exactement, Celeste. Le français est bizarre, parfois. Les interactions comptent énormément. Et toi, tu es une excellente interlocutrice. Merci, Celeste

Obrigada, querida Maria
Em minha opinião, não são os diamantes que são eternos, mas sim as cartas de amor.
😘🌺
