(The one I put my heart into that you read and promptly handed back to me) *T, You know as well as I do that when I want something, I don't know how to give it up. I don't think I have ever loved anything as much as you or wanted anything as badly as I want you and so I have absolutely no choice but to keep trying. I don't know how to stop loving. Trust me, I am trying so hard. I’ve gone on my fair share of dates And gotten a kitten to distract me And cut my hair to start over But dates make me sad because They don't hold my hand the way you do And I love my kitten but She reminds me of you more than she helps me forget And my hair is short now but I still have no interest in a fresh start If it doesn't include you. Maybe I wasn't supposed to stop loving you. It feels like the whole world is trying to prevent me from getting over you. And so I will keep choosing you. Without pause, without doubt, without hesitation. I will always choose you. I cannot give up. I know I can fix it. I know I can be better. I just need the chance. Please give me one more chance. Until then, I will keep trying to get over you- No, until then, I will keep waiting for you to come back. “Have courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.” -Maya Angelou Love (Always), S P.S. I will send you three hundred letters if I have to. Three thousand even. Three zillion trillion.*

The First and Last Letter I had the Courage to Send
