An Epistolary Affair (Complete work)
I remember the nights when you and I sat here in my loft, deep in conversation about those questions I kept asking myself and these feelings I had been having.
Your free spirit had sprung to the fore and you had advised me to follow my heart. This is exactly what I did and then he came into my life.
Choosing him was a complete departure from what we had discussed. I almost instantly cast aside those feelings I was having towards women.
I still remember the way you did not judge me or dismissed me entirely for settling for what was expected of me. I remember what you said: ”you’ll figure it out, all in your own time.”
I had always been attracted to men, had my share of boyfriends and even the odd sexual experiences as a teenager, but I never had any serious long term relationships.
Then I went off to university and spent the first years of my twenties celibate, pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind, busy with school, friends, hobbies, my career, and maybe unconsciously just to fit in, fantasising about meeting that perfect man, and having the white picket fence.
He appeared one day, and I thought why not? He was a nice guy, funny, attentive, supportive, generous good looking. An unconditionally accepting man, what more could a woman want?
I can even own up to the fact that I loved him, but I was not in love with him.
He came by two days ago. I was busy painting.
It had been my first attempt in weeks. I think you could say that I have been suffering from a creative drought, artist block you may wish to call it! At least with your photography, the subject is there, you don’t have to invent it, give creative birth to it..anyway I was just finishing priming this enormous canvas when he arrived at the door.
I opened the door to him and was immediately greeted by his beaming smile. He was in a strange mood, almost hyper and he insisted we go out for a bite to eat.
We just went round the corner, a small dinner which we had been to before. I had the 3 cheese grilled sandwich. He had the grilled chicken sandwich with fried eggplant.

I had not read this story when it was first posted. It was before I knew of the site. I feel blessed that it was brought to my attention.
Letter writing of all sorts is a special genre for me. It is easy to bare the soul in a letter, easy to fall in love through a letter, and the way you two have handled this process is incredible to say the least. You have tapped into something that I can’t describe.
But these lines: “I’m sorry for this outburst, especially as I finish this letter, but I feel like I can tell you anything. And I know it’s silly, but I already feel better for having confided in you. How is it that you, that I know through your words only, can make me feel calmer than anyone has ever been able to? Could it be that connection again? … Will we ever know?…” Oh wow…yep, been there…just incredible.
Thank you.

A beautiful story,beautifully written.The power of the spoken word so much more powerful and meaningful when put to paper in a letter.The words stay on the page and unlike the spoken word will never fade away only with age.
Looking forward so much to your next story Kins.It can’t come soon enough…;)..Cx
