[letter #2]
To My Lady with Red Hair:
You were right to guess that it is not nighttime right now. In fact, the bell has just tolled four times; it is four o’clock in the afternoon. After I take the time to contemplate the day’s events and write to you, there will be just enough time to bend over the rail of this bridge and drop this letter down to you. However, seeing as the wind is less predictable today and much stronger than it was yesterday, I shall not risk letting this fall into the waters to be devoured in his depths. Rather, I shall drop it into a mailbox nearby, where it will be safer.
I think it is proper for you to say ‘Good Night’. Those two words make you so much more realistic, since I can only catch a glimpse of you when the sun goes down. Besides, I think that this growing collection of letters in my bedside drawer will be a comfort to me if I ever need someone to keep me company while the night hours pass by. Rereading your letters can always make me smile.
Knowing that I intrigue you as much as you intrigue me makes me feel sinfully smug. I hope that it isn’t too horrible of a feeling!
I find that the one thing that also intrigues me very much isn’t the night (rather, it lulls me to sleep with its quiet hum of activity), but everyday noise. While I sit here, I wonder what can be causing that rustle, or clinking and ringing those delicate sounds of crystal and glass. The water laps, its regular rhythm broken by one thing or another and the different soles of pedestrians’ shoes tap a melody into the walkway. It reminds me of an everlasting score of music, improvised at whim.
I just saw you pass by, your auburn hair whipping about you in the wind. Did you see me? I waved, but it must have been too late as your hat took that opportunity to fly with the wind.
As always, I await your reply. Good night!
Your Silhouette on the Bridge
[author’s notes]
It’s beginning to feel weird writing letters to myself. xP I do hope that you’re enjoying it so far!
However...I do have something else to post this time. ^^ Clickie my profile and perhaps, you shall see the treat. xD
