A woman was surprised when she found a love letter in a charity shop - but that turned to shock when she realised that she had written it years before, and given it to her boyfriend as a teen. Kaylee Powell instantly recognised the collage on the front and knew what the item was, even though the sentimental message had been covered.
She took it home and scraped the paint off the back and sure enough, she found the words she had written as a youth. She shared her find on TikTok and people were left speechless by the discovery. Taking to TikTok, where she uploads as @steamgeekcreations, Kaylee wrote: "We were at our local Goodwill and walking past the shelf when we stumbled across this, which is a piece I made 10 years ago for my high school boyfriend.
"You can see that he painted over my love letter but that's where my signature was. I want to buy it, I want to see if I can fix it up and if I can unveil the love letter I wrote." She then took the item home and used a razor to scrape the paint off the back and soon the love letter was revealed.
Kelly then read out the letter which she had written years before, which went: "I honestly can't believe that it's only been a couple of weeks. "The memories we've made, the mornings we've shared and the love I've gained are priceless. I really don't know what you see in me, I don't know why you care, but I'm just so glad you've found something you find worthwhile in me, and I'm so glad and thankful that I can call you mine.
"I hope we have a thousand more anniversaries after this. I hope that this is the end of my old life and the start of my new one. I love you more than words could ever say and I hope that will never change - You are my beacon of salvation, the stars in my night sky and my best friend. I love you, Kaylee."

She then added a postscript, which read: "Sorry I had to share my feels." Kaylee added that she found the letter "very cringe" but also "very funny", so she decided to share it with her fans. Soon people began commenting on the video in amazement, as one said: "The fact he donated and didn't trash it is kinda cute." Then a second wrote: "A couple of weeks and you made a whole mosaic?" And then a third added: "16 is such a dramatic age. I cringed and laughed as you read it."
