Prompt: Write an anonymous love letter!
Dearest Nakshatra,
The bowels of my heart yearn for you and your tender touch. I dream of your handsome milk chocolate skin, the cute nerdy glasses that adorn the face in which your mahogany eyes reside, and your fierce intelligence and wit. You are ingrained in every corner of my mind in each second of each passing day. I have never believed in fate… not until I looked deep into your soul and personality and realized that I cannot see myself standing beside any other person. Hearing you exclaim, “Gyatt!” and other trendy Gen-Alpha slang fills me with the desire to hold your hands and feel the energy radiating and pulsating with every effortless breath of air you take. I recall the first time I saw you–freshman year. Ever since then, I dreamily gaze in your direction, thinking of the future I can lovingly build and explore with you. I aspire to bear your children, bear your highs and lows, and most of all, bear your affectionate hugs. In this immense universe, no other soul erupts my body with such adrenaline and elation just as you do. I am truly enamored by the captivating beauty of your every move. You are layered like baklava, sweet like jalebi, irresistible like chicken tikka masala, hot and smoky like tandoori, and complex like chana masala. In the most wholehearted sincerity, I am in love with you.
<3
-Your secret admirer.
