Interpretation

Dear cousin,

I received your letter and it was more than I deserve. You describe her as perfect, everything I dream of. I dream so much, it's absurd. But when I get there and she sees me, I would be surprised if she didn't run away screaming.

My kind of love is an ugly love, but it is real and it lasts a long time.

I had a thought while I was sleeping. I dreamt of a place where we could rest. Eternity under the old oak tree. But perhaps I am going too far. Maybe it's better to think about tomorrow and make her stay for as long as possible.

Because my kind of love is an ugly love, but it is real and it lasts a long time.

And if she finds me so repulsive, she wouldn't be the first one who has to vomit. I decided a long time ago that I will never be the best catch. And if the car I drive is important to her, she can get into hers as soon as I arrive.

Because my kind of love is an ugly love, but it is real and it lasts a long time.
