Dear Lucy...

Dear Lucy,

Hi there.
How have you been?
You didn't reply me the last time.
But it's ok.

The moment I set my mind to do what I did, I knew what I was getting myself into.
I've prepared to jettison the many romantic notions that I had.
Therefore, I know, I understand and I can accept the present.

I met Kevin a while back and he asked me if I ever was going to tell you.
I thought for about a week.
I decided not to.
Why?

You know as well as I do that things will probably never be the same.
I don't plan to embitter you again, nor embittered by you.
The pain you feel, I felt it too.
The smile that you fake, I faked it too.
So you see, we aren't very much different.

Just so you know,
I thought of you.

Yours truly,
Jack

P.S: There's still a stash of letters I've written that hasn't been posted out to you.
Eventually.... Maybe.
