LETTERS
April 21Dear Sweetheart,
How are you today? I hope all is well. I'm feeling rather nervous, but not that you can tell. There's something I must say and it can't wait another day. I must get this off my chest, because it is for the best. I've been so forgotten and lonely, feeling as though the world has abandoned me. But then I found your eyes where I feel my safety lies. Then you put your arms around me and now that's where I long to be. You make my heart race so fast. I just want the feeling to last. Although this is on paper, can you hear me? I just need you to see... what I'm trying to say. I've never felt this way. To me every love song is about you and all the things that we could do. I really wish to be yours, but your feelings are behind closed doors. Thinking about this I've gone insane. At first I thought it best to refrain. But now I know what I need to do: And what that is, is to ask you...
Do you want me too? With that said I feel I must go, I'm feeling better now that you know.
Yours forever,
Me

Dear Sweetheart,
I guess you didn’t get my last letter. You didn’t write back. Is that for the better? Maybe we should talk face to face. If you want to just give me the place. It could be a coffee shop, it could be your work; whatever you want and I won’t be a jerk. Lately I’ve been thinking about you. It’s strange, but I’m sure you didn’t know. I hope it makes you happy, that your face swims in my head. That reminds of that letter I received, what was it that it said? Never mind, I’ll have to leave now to catch you on your way to the bookstore. If I’m not there just keep watching the door.
Yours forever,
Me

Dear Sweetheart,
Why did the cops take me away? It seems like it was just the other day… but no, it’s been a week. A week since I was carried away like a freak. Who called the cops? Do I make your co-workers nervous? Or is it that they are jealous of us? We have quite the love, even though we’ve never talked. How about tomorrow we take a walk? Through the park? Or through the zoo? It’s something I’ve been meaning to do. I really love you, okay? Do you feel this way? I don’t want to bore you, I’ll write you again. I hope you write back about how you’ve been…
Yours forever,
Me

Dear Sweetheart,
Why don’t you write back? Why haven’t we met? You’re with that other person, aren’t you?? I bet. Please just talk to me. I want to know why you wouldn’t let me in. Did you not know it was me in the dark, behind your recycling bin? I guess it might be scary, seeing someone in the dark. You ran back inside after a dog barked. Then I saw that person come to your door and you smiled. I watched through your windows, as you two got wild. Why are you cheating on me? Don’t you see? DON’T YOU SEE?? I am the only one for you…. But what can I do? You know what? I just won’t write back! Then you’ll notice the love that you lack. Goodbye.
Yours forever,
Me

Dear Sweetheart,
Hey you, how’s it been? I have something to say, but where to begin… Did you get my last letter? I really thought that it could have been better. Is that why you didn’t write back? Or is it something else that I lack? How are things with what’s their name? Do you still feel the same? Are you both still living the lie? Is it finally causing you to die?
Have you finally realized that you like me? Have you realized what a great couple we could be?
Well I’m going to go, I’ll call you tonight. I’ll call only you, because you’re the sweetest one in sight.
Yours forever,
Me
