please, my dear, be so generous as to let me have a little world of my own. if you find me
1 on a piece of paper, please don't peep over my shoulders. it may be that i'm
2 some pent-up feelings, long dennied expression, or trying to compose a little poem not yet presentable for a time being, or attempting to
3 out something
4 fron mychildhood memories which glowsing my minf like a rainbow. when i am in such a mood,please leave me along and let me write as the pen
5. don't disturb me, my dear, when i get nostalgic over some old photos or letters which bring tears to my eyes or smiles on my lips, for those were things that had happened to me before i met you, the joys and sorrows, partings and reunions that taste like green olive or glitter like
6 pearls. they are my cherished memories which, ready as i am to share with you, i would like to indulge in by myself for a while.
i hope you won't mind when i go without you for a nice chat with a close friend of mine. you are my
7 friend, but you cannot take the place of other friends any more than they can do yours. i need their care, encouragement and sobering criticism just as i do yours. a starless sky with a
8 moon would be dull and cheerless, why not let there be a moonlit night resplendent with twinkling stars.
i may occasionally want to make a tour of faraway places. please don't hold me back when i start picking for it. you are the center of my life, but certainly not the whole of it. i
9 to see the mysteries and wonders of the world miles away beyond the mountains; so let me have a chance to explore my "alice's wonderland" as a "
10 11". some time later when i come back to you with exotic experiences and fresh insights, i'm sure you will look at me in a new light.
my dear, so long as you let me have such a little, little world, i'll be very much indebted to you.
