My Darling Peanut Butter,

Never does a day pass without thoughts of you conquering my mind. I have craved you for the span of my lifetime. Our souls mingle together as though I were jelly of the sweetest berry. My desire for you over the years has grown and multiplied tenfold since our first meeting.
I can still taste your familiarity; from the first bite it was love. You were like a best friend to me – always there to offer your comfort and support whenever I was in need. I recall the day we took our relationship to the next level: I was only four, and you – timeless. I had fallen on the bus coming from school, and I had a terrible gushing wound on my knee. Band-aid, my lover before I knew you, was there for me to help me heal as always. But it was you who stole my heart in your creamy delicious comfort. From then on you and the roof of my mouth were inseparable. It was true love. It is true love.
Oh, how we've grown together over the years; going from sandwiches to Reeses' peanut butter cups. Then when I learned to cook you were there in my chocolate-peanut butter brownies, my peanut butter cookies, and my Reeses' cakes. Do you remember the day we made Ramen noodles together? Oh, what magic that day was! All of those recipes, those delicious meals, they are like our children. And what a beautiful family we have created together.
You are the only constant in my life. Friends, family – they leave, they die, they all fade away at some point. But you, my dearest peanut butter, you are forever.

I love you, always.

                                          Eternally yours,
                                                     Your Jelly, DRW.
It was a project for my Creative Writing class.
"Write a love letter to something from your childhood"

It's amusing, but every word is true. I love peanut butter.
:heart:

Enjoy

Wow, Gir, this represents a real plateau for your writing. You've captured a very delightful human side of life, and described it with a great charm and such a smoothness of style that I'm totally amazed. I love the way you took your time with her descriptions of her friend, and let them seep into the readers mind with such convincing clarity. The sweetness of the love, and the sensual food references are really wonderful, and they all bare your special trademark of beautiful spontaneous insights into the meaning of things. The piece has a fine tempo, too, and a very satisfying ending. It's a very thoughtful ending that also leaves the story open to further possibilities. It's so great to see you expand your style, while still retaining what you do best...where emotional realities become suddenly so wonderfully real.

There are a few typos, though. :giggle: Should I point them out?
