Letters to Seemi

Letter 6
I am Getting Older

Village Akil

Dearest Seemi,

Today when I came home after my walk, I took a look in the mirror. I noted that I am getting bald. Also, my hair has started to turn white like an old man’s.

Two or three years ago, if I saw any gray hair on my head, I plucked it out just to look young. When I was 16, my face was full of pimples. I hated pimples. They disturbed and hurt me a lot. Now that I am 22, I don’t have pimples, but they left very tiny holes on my face.

No matter how hard I try to stay young, one day I will be old. I hope you will like me forever because this skin, this hair, and this body are mortal, but my love for you is immortal. I will love you forever.

Five years ago, when I saw you for the first time, you looked as white as snow. Your delicate hands, your deep eyes, and your silence still occupy my mind. No matter how you look with the passage of time, I will always love you the same way.

Yours forever,
Rizwan

I'm not sure that I have a romantic voice, but I think that if I were trying to read it in a sensitive, dreamy manner, I'd use different words. For instance, I would word the initial paragraph this way:

"Today, after my walk, I took a look in the mirror, and noticed that not only am I going bald, but that my hair is starting to turn white. It's like I'm actually starting to get old."

I can read it out verbatim but I feel like the end result will sound a little weird to me. If it doesn't to you, then I don't mind doing it.

Thank you for your interest. I like the change you mentioned for the initial paragraph. Give it a go. Do your best. Let's see if I like the audio. I will tell you after listening.
Please go ahead and record.

Thank you.
