Love Letters...A Dying Art?

Have you ever had a love letter? and I mean any type of love letter, even the ones in school.
"I like you, do you like me? Tick (or circle) yes or no", type love letter...No?
I remember once writing a "love letter" to this boy (...I know lol), actually it wasn't a letter. It was written on the back of those big ass rubbers you used to get in class, you know the one made by Staedtler that looked like this...
Ha!
All I really remember is that my heart felt like it was in my throat, then I handed it to him, telling him not to read it until I had left...okay ran out the room lol. I can't remember what actually happen afterwards, if anything. But I still remain good friends with that boy and once in a while he'll remind me how I ran out of the room lool.
My only time receiving one, I was slightly older. It was so unexpected from a really cool guy friend in my class (I only hung out with boys in Primary, with the exception of JB). He left it in my tray (remember back in the day you had a tray instead of a locker lol), It was really sweet and a little unexpected. I didn't feel the same and didn't want our friendship to be awkward, so I pretended I didn't get it.
It's funny he never brought it up and I just realised neither of us has ever mentioned it since. Shame.
I asked a few of the girlies they're thoughts on love letters and after laughing hard at me, most thought It was really corny and very rare. I agree to a point, blame my addiction for old fashion love, but I like the fact that someone can express themselves with words. It's also really great to look back and read them. Although If I'm honest, I would be giving a dude a little side eye if he gave me one, its just hard to take guys seriously these days. But thats another post in itself. I would'nt give a side eye to Idris or Lupe though. I had to do it lool.
Anyway what do you think?
Peace.
