Perhaps that's the essence of a love letter, to celebrate the unique.

Sometimes, persevering...is simply having the courage to let go. ~Jason Versey — Jason Versey

Separation is painful, but so is its opposite. And if being together brings joy, then it is only proper that separation should do the same in its own way. — Yukio Mishima

Sometime I'll lay down my wrath,
As I lay my body down
Between the ache of breath and breath,
Golden slumber in the bone. — Allen Ginsberg
