Dear Friend, I apologize for monopolizing the conversation tonight. It’s been a long time since anyone brought him up and even longer since I opened the drawer where I keep his memories and pulled them out for display. I’m sure you find it hard to believe that we fit so much history into such a short period of time, but we loved more recklessly than we lived. Please forgive me for taking advantage of your kind ear. S.H. Dear You, I talked about you tonight, but you probably know that, as you always seem to know when your name has crossed the threshold of my lips. I am going to be honest with you—I tried very hard to forget you. There is only one picture left (the one on the rocks before we were on the rocks) and your songs live only in my head now, not my CD player. I even pretended not to know you once. They didn’t believe me. I know I have to let you go for good. Would you do me a favor and tell me you never loved me? S.H. Dear Love, I try to understand why you are so patient with me when my past comes between us. Though you keep saying you are unworthy of my love, it is I who am undeserving. You have allowed me to share my heart with him, even if only in my mind. Please don’t stop believing in me. I will break this habit and give you all of me again. I miss the way your eyes wrinkle when you smile, the smile I’ve stolen from you. His ghost will not haunt our bed any longer. I love you. S.H. |
