All women have their beauty

Dear WWWW,

All women have their beauty; their special charms, but some fail to see them or think their greatest asset is just a trinket. But you, my lady, have a quiet simmering of emotion and a protected heart of great compassion and feeling. You have cloaked your special charms and you have hidden your gracious beauty beneath sad eyes and long legs.

Would that those eyes shine forth more often, as they do from time to time, when you talk of your achievements and the challenges you have overcome, of your hope for a family and a better world from which you could stretch your spirit to encompass little people and a richer world.

The quiet smile hides the veiled intelligence in your eyes and I wonder why you would want to hide so much. It makes me feel like protecting you in whatever means I could to let you flower and smile, shine with that inner light. I would hope that whoever you find to mingle souls will endeavour to make this a priority as I see this as your greatest wealth of character.

Though you may think that makeup and fashion bring out the woman, I saw the real woman who does not need to hide behind such trivial and surface features, but feels content to smell and sweat as all humans do. I failed to notice the humidity of the land we were in, but felt the heat in the grazing touches that were stolen accidentally, knowing that nothing more could be done or said. This makes me ache, but we both understand our paths are different for each of our 40th years.

Although I may never meet you again, I hope you take something of me with you to face this world, perhaps some part of how I see you - a vibrant and dynamic woman with the world at her feet, long legs and spirited body, flashing eyes and open smile beneath straw blonde hair. Would that the sun always light your path so this hair will always shine and your cheeks stay rosey, but not so much that the sunscreen will dampen your enthusiasm or raise sweat on your brow.

I wish you all the very best in your travels, and hope that should circumstances change, we might meet again and explore the possibilities that we tasted however briefly, even without a kiss. The shared comfort we found in each other could form a strong bond, but sits as a potential - a testament to what could have been, such that you might see better how others could see you and treat with you and love you with all their heart.

You deserve nothing less. I welcome our meeting and will remember you always.

With heartfelt wonder, I wish you all the best, YYYY.
