I couldn't read the whole thing, but the beginning sounds sorta whiny to me...


edit: then again, love has not been kind to me recently. so I'm probably not one to give advice right now.

let the power of your emortions help you carefully select the
words, think less is more


Jean got it right IMO. Although I think a complete and total rewrite by a relative stranger is extreme, it could prove useful in strengthening your relationship and I'm a softie when it comes to love so here's my version:

My Beloved,

Wandering, my mind recalled a chance encounter with the person who has changed me in unimaginable ways and allowed me to see beauty in this world- you. Oh, how I long for you, my entire being in agony from the separation. From early dawn to late dusk I seek you only to find you missing. Ah, agony is separation. I look for you in the sky and there you are. I look for you in strangers passing by and your face smiles radiantly back at me. Oh my love to be with you if even in a passing minute is heaven itself.

You are mine and I am yours. No longer separated I am whole again through and in you. Friend, soul-mate, lover, oh my Beloved I wish to be in your arms. In your embrace do any troubles melt away. In your arms I find myself and through that, you. In you does the world resound in angelic symphonies. In you and you alone does the world make sense.

Separation from you wrings my heart. My soul cries out in agony to find you gone. The love-madness is pain and joy mixed so together that I have no recourse but to cry and laugh the laughter of a man so struck by love as to be powerless. Ah hear me my love you are mine and I am yours. For everything you are to me, thank you. If words could shout from this page, they would fill your mind with discord from our separation. If time could stop, we would still be one. If the world did indeed end through act of God or man, it would still never separate us. We are one, united in love, always. My Beloved my only solution to this madness is to love you more each day until nothing is left but love itself. You will never stop being a part of me and my life. I love you.

yours for eternity,
your name


Cheers !


ps: note the difference. If I were reading your version, I'd think "bah, some more typical teenagerish nonsense. This person doesn't really understand love. This person just feels the beginning of what he/she thinks is meant by love. I want more. I want to own wholly and submit wholly." I tried to make my version do just that. Although I don't know how effective it was since I, admittedly, have no basis to make a judgment. Also note that you didn't give me much to work with since I can't empathize and become you with just one letter...

Don't listen to anybody!! (except me, of course)

Make the grammar revisions and send it off man. You are IN it right now. Live it good and most of all, have some fun.

you forgot to add

ps. I ate the wang


I assume you were referring to my post scriptum and meant it to be some sort of insult or derogation. To which I must retort with: DuffmanOhYeah says a lot of things, Oh Yeah!, most of which seem to be nonsensical.


Cheers !

Who the h3ll cares what duffman says. The fact that he has a great nick is all we need to know. He's got an entire sentence fragment for a handle for chrissakes. I could never be that imaginative.

And PLEASE just send it. You wrote it, and you meant it. Don't let anyone sway you. (with the grammar corrections, of course)

I've seen some odd things posted on ATOT, most of which has left me wondering how hard the poster was dropped on their heads, this though just leaves me scratching mine. It's a love letter ... you think, you write, you hand it over, its supposed to be from the heart. The fact that you are asking a bbs to help you edit it is just weak.

Also, in all seriousness, how old are you two and how long have you been together that you are writing this?

No offense but you HAVE TO take this part out:

Dude, stuff like this stinks of desparation...especially stuff like "I love you and you love me, at least you say you do and act as if you do, and that alone is enough to make me believe you and satisfy my soul."

Do yourself a favor. Buy her a nice present/flowers with a card that says "I miss you. Love <your name here>"

Less freaky, same effect.

Maybe, but in your iteration, there is no reference to him eating the wang. Then what's the point???

Hmmm...I guess you're right. Thrust in the direction of the problem, then.

what's up with the last part? Prince of Darkness??? Reminds me of some movie in the 80s! I think you should take that part out.
