It’s February, the month of Valentine’s Day. The month of love and lovers. February is notably a month used to communicate love. Specifically, millions around the globe take part in Valentine’s Day on February 14 to show their significant others how much they care. February is typically a month that is either dreaded by some or looked forward to by others…
And so I just had a new blog idea: I’m going to share for the next couple of days poetry, love letters of great men (in hope this will lead to motivate my own man for a love letter. Lol.) or anything else to do with love 💕
Today, a love letter from the following great man:

Mark Twain
To Olivia Langdon
1869 in Buffalo, New York
Livy dear,
I have already mailed today’s letter, but I am so proud of my privilege of writing the dearest girl in the world whenever I please, that I must add a few lines if only to say I love you, Livy. For I do love you, Livy… as the dew loves the flowers; as the birds love the sunshine; as the wavelets love the breeze; as mothers love their first-born; as memory loves old faces; as the yearning tides love the moon; as the angels love the pure in heart… Take my kiss and my benediction, and try to be reconciled to the fact that I am
Yours forever,
Sam
