My Heart’s Love

You were more wonderful than I have ever known you — you were divine.

I was more and more happy as the time went on.

There seems to me now no mental troubles — I have no longer any of the black feelings I had.

Practical difficulties need discussing — I had thought of talking about them, but the time was too precious and perfect, I could not waste it. Some time they must be gone into —

Yes, it is a failure of love to hurt people. But you have conquered by love.

My dear dear Love, I bless you — I do believe in the reality of what I love in you — it has not been a mirage.

Goodnight my Beloved — My spirit is with you.
