Dear Brave Soul,

First thing’s first: you need to understand that everything you do will be put down on paper in one way or another. Your writer will write about you directly and indirectly in everything that they create. They’ll write about how much they love you and how you made them cry. They’ll write about how you are the stormy chaos in their dream world on a bad day and the sunlight in their life on a good day. Some of their best work will come from the times you broke their heart and destroyed their emotions. They are capable of writing some tragically beautiful things. That being said, though, rest assured that your writer will create some beautiful works that are inspired by the times that you pieced them back together when they were sure that they were broken into an array of unfixable pieces and loved them beyond what they thought they deserved.

If your writer loves you back (which they undoubtedly do because writers always fall in love too quickly and love far too much) you will know. All you have to do to find out is read their work. You’ll know because you’ll read a piece and see yourself. Please don’t run and hide at the possibility of this. Writers write about what they know best, and your writer is no exception. Your writer knows your heart, your soul, and you and all that you are better than anyone or anything. Please never forget that. Your writer will write about the color of your eyes and the beauty and charm in your smile. Your writer will write about the love and the pain in your words. If your writer is in love with you, you are their inspiration in every possible way.

You need to understand that there will be some days where your writer is captivated by their own words. During times like this, the best thing you can do is encourage from a distance and refill their cup of coffee if it gets cold or remains untouched. They will spend hours typing, deleting, and typing some more, only to end up sobbing in frustration over a “terrible” piece of work that they tried desperately to create. Their work is not terrible. Kiss their forehead and tell them this when the time is right. Your writer will thank you.

Since you love a writer, you need to know that you have fallen in love with a beautiful heart and an even more beautiful mind. Your writer will make you see the world in ways that you have never seen it before – ways that are far more beautiful than anything that you can conjure up on your own. They will make you see the beauty in a rainy Tuesday afternoon and a snowy December night. They will make you see the simplistic elegance in a Sunday morning breakfast and Friday night glasses of wine. Don’t take this for granted. Your writer’s need to romanticize everything may be something that you see as a hindrance. It will never fade, though, so the best thing you can do is embrace every bit.

There is an abundance of truth in the quote, “If a writer falls in love with you, you will never die”. You will live forever in the words that they craft about you. The positive and negative ways in which they portray you will never cease. Choose your words carefully, tread lightly, and love to the best of your ability. If your heart belongs to a writer, a writer’s heart undoubtedly belongs to you.
