Pen Pals
Two strangers began to talk
Not the verbal kind of talking, but the written one
They sent letters to each other everyday
Back and forth and back and forth
They seemed to never stop coming and going
When they wrote they didn't just put in time and effort
They put in feelings
They put in emotions
They put in love
A russian woman and an American man
They did not speak the same laguage
But they both understood one language in particular; love
Through translators they learned each other's native languages
Their writing turned into frequent visits
From Russia to America
From America to Russia
The flights were never ending
Back and forth and back and forth
Their love for each other bloomed like a rose
But like every relationship, their rose had some thorns
A day came where the girl decided to leave everything behind
Her family
Her friends
Her job
But she still had love
This love drove her to a country where she experienced a new life
In little to no time, the man popped the question and the woman became a wife
Within a year a little girl was born
This girl grew up in a home filled with various foods, languages, and customs
That girl is me
