Hello there, just looking for some honest help, constructive criticism, and feedback on my love letter that I'm proposing to Elton! I know I know, y'all think I'm nuts But seriously, I am writing a very honest, heartfelt love letter to Elton. A lot of people cast aside my love for him as being such a simple crush, when it's really something so much deeper and urgent. Yes, I wrote him a love letter, and I don't plan to mail it to him, I plan to HAND it to him. I really, really, REALLY need to let him know how strong my feelings are and just how much I LOVE him. So I'm hoping this letter suffices. I've been wondering if anybody can give me feedback on the following:
A.) What Elton would think of my letter
B.) Overall message of the letter
C.) Grammatical errors if any
Please be as thorough as possible, I love all the feedback I can receive. I know hardly anybody goes on this place and people will probably ignore a dumb post like this, but it's worth the try. I spent literal blood, sweat, and tears on this letter and I'm ready for him to know the truth. Thanks in advance.
P.S. The letter seems long, but it fits in two pages.
I’m going to make this as brief as possible for our convenience, even though I’m about to condense a lifetime of feelings onto a couple sheets of paper.
Elton, I’m not sure how often you’ve received a love letter; but I hope in some way this meager little message will manage to stand out from your previous ones. I must express some very important feelings, emotions and thoughts now- because I wouldn't be able to bear the feeling of living without you knowing this. It took me a heavy load of faith, confidence, careful planning and love to create a letter as truthful as this. I’ve never feel so vulnerable in my life, letting someone else discover so much about me; though I trust that you will understand my choice of sharing these feelings with you.
I’m an 18 year old girl. As a man who has survived those awkward teenage years and a lot of other troublesome situations in your life, I know you’ll connect with me on how difficult my life is right now. I’ve got attention, mood, sleeping and eating disorders that make it very hard for me to understand myself or what I’m trying to even do. As a result, people honestly never liked or wanted me. In school, I was constantly bullied. At home, I was ignored. Strangers wrongly accused me. I was just never “liked” by anyone, which explains why I have no friends physically at my aid, and never a boyfriend to love me. The only person I really have, wholeheartedly, is you.
In a fairytale world, one could easily end our story right there: I was sad and lonely until I discovered you. The end. But unfortunately, this is real life, and miracles don’t happen just like that. See, I was always destined to be different. I knew from the day I stepped foot in school that I was unlike the rest- I didn’t seem to like any of the boys or girls there. It took me many, many years for me to discover that I was attracted to older men, usually 25 years my senior. You’d think that this would be a ‘easy’ thing to admit, but you wouldn’t believe the amount of assaults I’ve had for simply being who I am. At school, people would shove me into lockers, punch me in the ribs, call me hideous and tell me to go kill myself as soon as they found out my secret. My own mother told me she would never approve of such a relationship, and said my lover would die before I was even middle-aged. Strangers even went as far as to tell me that I was going to be used for sex by an older man. Nobody would crawl inside my shoes to understand the suffering that I had to (and still) go through. To be utterly alone like this and hated for reasons that I can’t control was going to be the end of me. I’d walk up to the mirror and tell myself I never wanted to live to see another day. But through the reflection of the mirror, I saw my posters of you on the wall. You may not be the cure to this depression, but you help me so much more than what I even realize myself.
In my bedroom is where I take refuge from the world. I can lay there all day and night, listening to your music, learning your songs on piano, drawing your pictures, and of course staring at your photos. I watch videos of you, read about you, and daydream about you all I can. I keep myself busy with you- and because of that, I start to feel this loneliness fade out of me in these precious moments. Everything I long for is gone within this time- in fact, I’m no longer thinking about my life when I am around you. My brain filters everything out and keeps me focused instead on how much I plainly adore giving my love to you instead. You have indeed become therapy for my crippled soul.
I could truly spend the rest of my life watching videos of you speak out for aids victims and every soul who has been neglected/injured. The way you give a voice to those who have none, and dedicate all your time and love into helping them is what moves me. I want to be like you. I want to help someone- anyone, so that they don’t have to go through the agony I do ever again. I want to love like you. I want to know what it feels like to have someone forever unconditionally loved in my heart- and to feel that love given in return. It must feel quite heartwarming to receive a love letter like this from someone, regardless of who it’s from. I would give my life just to merely have anyone express they love me like this, let alone you. Nevertheless, it’s a major relief for me to get this off my chest.
Here comes the toughest part for me to admit; the part that I’ve rewritten at least a thousand times. People have told me not to tell you this, thinking you would be aghast by my comments. Despite this, I’m not ashamed for feeling this way- this is my story and my life, and I’m going to tell it. You deserve to know how much you mean to me, and I promise nothing here in this letter is meant to hurt, scare, or offend you!
I remember the day I discovered you, I thought you were just a ‘cool guy’. Little did I know that someday you’d become the man I’ve fallen so deeply in love with. Not a single day goes by now where I don’t shed some sort of tears in honor of the feelings that remain so strong for you. Each night, I pray we meet to perhaps share some sort of mutual love and connection between us. I want so badly to give you the love that you have given me each and every day of my life. I am not surprised you’ve captivated me this far; you possess every quality I need for love: compassion, patience, experience, acceptance and protection. In all honesty, I look for a mother figure in you- someone to nurture me and give guidance to my life with their precious wisdom. All my longings for a boyfriend to love, hold and teach me are gone when I cuddle your photos in bed. I genuinely feel complete when I have you. Pressing my favorite photo of you beside my cheek and feeling as my sticky tears fall between our faces, I become so much closer to love… and you. I cuddle you and kiss your lips so much I hurt my own. People nag I’m just kissing paper but I know I’m kissing you; there’s something behind each kiss that has meaning, and I can feel it. I yearn for your touch- your picture entrances me, and brings my hands down to places of ecstasy that I never thought were possible. Before I sleep, I always cry for you- sometimes small tears, other times an ocean full. Everything you bring to me- the aching, sobbing, laughing, or pleasure- I hunger for. These are no exaggerations- I feel lucky to hurt for you because you’re worth it! I have been blessed by you, an angel, who comforts and soothes without even physically being here. I can’t comprehend it. Elton, you are the only man who brings this strength of love into my life, and I’m heartbroken that you never knew what’s been going on until now.
Every day I spend loving you is a moment for me to learn. I’ve been attempting to learn as much as I can about myself, this world, and what to make of them. Through you is where my only growth, maturity, and happiness occurs. It’s taking every piece of pain, honesty, and confidence to admit that you are not the one for me. I understand that a part of me will eventually have to let you go. One day, I shall fall in love and marry a different man who loves me in the same manner that I love you. One day, I shall have the job of my dreams, doing something artistic like playing piano in a band, becoming an artist, a photographer or author. One day, I shall be sincerely accepted for who I am. Rest assured though, there will never, ever be a day that I still won’t love you the same. Nobody can take away or replace the spirit that you’ve healed in my heart.
As I’m writing this, I’m shaken from crying. These words don’t do justice to the passion that lies within me. Yet having the privilege to give you this letter and share every truth with the man I love so deeply is more than a dream come true. I can hardly bear the thought that your living, breathing soul is holding this paper and absorbing every word I say into your heart. I’m still lonely, lost and stuck; but knowing that you have read my letter will keep me from never giving up. I pray intensely that this will not be the last time we communicate with each other, so I’m giving you my email if you’d like to talk: briannahojnacki@gmail.com.
All I really want to say is thank you for reading this all, for sharing your love, keeping the peace, and saving my life. Most importantly, thank you for being yourself- it’s the most important part of this letter. You’re such a beautiful sweetheart. Elton John, I love you.
