The ontology of love letter

Every love letter has the same longing: an answer. That longing is manifested in every alphabet, word, and sentence. Answer comes in various tones. It could be explicit (i have the same feelings for you), meandering (you deserve better), or confusing (i am not accepting you, not rejecting you either).

Answer comes in various forms. It doesn’t have to be letters, although it is the most typical. It could be a verbal statement, a melody that invokes certain moods, or little objects that refer to some nostalgic moments. It could even be nothing. A nonanswer is a form of answers too, right?

The most expected answer is of course a change of status: from single to in a relationship, or from in a relationship to it’s complicated.
