Love, Sad, I Miss You

"Love Is Not All" l. 1 (1931)

You wrote me a beautiful letter, I wonder if you meant it to be as beautiful as it was. I think you did; for somehow I know that your feeling for me, however slight it is, is of the nature of love... When you tell me to come, I will come, by the next train, just as I am. This is not meekness, be assured; I do not come naturally by meekness; know that it is a proud surrender to You.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Love, Beautiful, Dream
