This is so Wonderful..A Very Heart Touching Story..U make me Speechless..Now i can truely Love my one and Only Angel..The Most Wonderful Person i’ve ever Had…thanks for sharing Your “Unwritten Love Poem”..God Bless U and Your Angel…;-)
Awww, wow. This is such a great post. Typically I add to the discussion or pick out a favorite part, but like this post suggests, I will leave that affirmation out. 🙂
Just found your site and love it. In fact I leave the link open so I can peruse your links and posts easily. You have given Angel an amazing gift with this one.
Your story is beautiful! It reminds me… Keats actually wrote a beautiful stanza about the inability of words to properly articulate the true majesty of love. It’s the second stanza of “Ode on a Grecian Urn”
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear’d,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;
Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!
Really enjoyed this…thoughtfully thinking about the love of my life, whom I was married to for a decade and a year…till it seemingly fell apart, unwraveled… technically still together, yet remain apart. Were still separated. Awaiting a letter they said the intended to send, yet have not received…perhaps he still loves me despite our differences…perhaps I too will never receive this letter. Much to my attempts, I too have been trying to put my thoughts on paper…yet nothing has transpired.
I also really love this post… I’m an artist… I do graphic design, and illustrations for a living, and have for a long time. I’ve been married for 15 years to my heart’s desire, a man I cannot fathom one moment, and who I know better than I know myself the next. He is my heart, and you know I have never, ever been able to paint, draw, or render him. I cannot do it… he is beyond representation… for me.
Evocative stuff, this. To write or not to write; does she laugh at it and toss it, or keep it for the rest of her life? Evocative because when I was 15, I’d set myself on a hugely buttholish life path that I’d somehow reckoned would make me strong. Then I met the Queen of my high school the first day of my junior year, in ‘consumer chemistry’ of all things. Fell in love instantly – 15, remember – but she was a senior, most popular, breathtakingly radiant (genuine) smile, homecoming Queen, and beloved by all except the most envious, so what chance did I have. Of course I never said a word of it to anyone.
But she saved my life. Just knowing her on a strictly acquaintance basis showed even a blind & bitter young idiot that her most uncool enthusiasm, good cheer, faith & optimism gave her a strength far above the brittle armor of my…whatever the hell my plan was. So I changed my plans, started trying to think like she would, and saved my life. I wrote her a heartfelt anony letter, thanking her for it. “To: Carol XXXX, c/o her parents”.
Wonder if she ever got it. Wonder what she thought of it. Wonder if she still thinks of it, these 35 years later. I still do. Just wish I’d had the guts to sign it.

With a story like this, and now the way I feel about it… lost in thought, we should title this,
“The Unwritten Comment.”
