My challenge is, write a love letter to someone, doesn't matter who.

Word list:

Spaghetti

This is  quite a hard challenge...

Answer 1

Ok, this is way below the word limit, but I wanted to see how short I could make it with that word list. I think there might be some oportunities to make it even shorter, but I wanted it to at least be meaningful.

 

 

Callie,

It may be a stretch to say that this karate video will make you laugh, but something tells me it will at least cause a giggle. Actually, I won't lie to you, I was merely using that as an excuse to write to you. And this is what I really want to say:

I love you. I realized that the other day, when the sight of your cheeks changing color in the cold made my heart dance. But, it's much more than just the way you looked. As we talked, I felt we connected on virtually every level, much like the lips of those Disney dogs when eating spaghetti. I hope very much you feel the same way. If not, I hope at least that video made you smile.

Truly yours,

Harold

Best response fits the feeling of the challenge, not the letter. I like that better. I think that means more :)

Thanks! I had lots of fun doing this one. And now I'm gonna have lots of fun making up a nightmarish list for the rest of ya. Muahahaha! Kidding. But it will be an odd list, I like those best because they get the most creative responses. I should stop talking now...

Answer 2

 

Dearest,

It has not yet been a day since last I saw you, and already I miss you terribly, with a tearing, burning pain that feels as though my heart is stretched across the thousands of miles between us. We are connected still, even across a continent. I cannot let go of you, no matter how far. The deepest parts of my soul hold you, reminding me with every moment that my arms cannot.

Yesterday I made you spaghetti. You finally let me cook for you, and I savored watching your beautiful face even as you savored the flavors of the sauce. You were in my sight; I could reach out and touch you – you were tangible and it was a wonderful break from virtual video communication. Tonight I’m cold despite the muggy heat outside; you’re not in my bed…it is just me and my dog here alone.

I cannot lie, as much as I would like to hide how I feel…the butterflies in my stomach give me away. They dance and giggle at the mere thought of you. But when you are not with me, those butterflies turn violent; they karate chop my guts and the color drains out of my world.

I long for sleep, so that I might dream of you, and I dread the morning without you. Someday, I will hold you without having to let you go. Until then, I send all my love your way.

Always,
Yours
