It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away! This is something I've never been good at, but I try. I don't second-guess my words and sentences and I never proof-read my letters. I say what I feel and what I mean, if it needs any clarification, and let it go. I don't sit and compose either. I say what comes to mind. but I do use her photo for inspiration and it's always enough. I am a romantic anyway and she usually appreciates that, if nothing else. I tell no lies, not ever, so I don't worry about remembering what I say to her. She deserves the truth and she gets that always from me. I can fall in love here through conversation and photos and video chat is another great tool. Most of all, be yourself, speak the truth, and don't flower it up too much. Think about what you feel and what of that you want to tell her, then do it. Most ladies sign their letters with a 'kiss' or 'kisses',...which reminds me of the KISS rule. Keep, It, Simple, Stupid. And that's good to follow. Always compliment her; they thrive on it. You can use comparisons but think first about them and that's all my thoughts on the subject.... Good Luck! Win her heart, and keep winning it! Ray!
