UNFORGOTTEN LOVE!

IN '94, I MOVED AWAY. ONE MONTH LATER I CAME BACK. THE PULL OF YOUR LOVE TO THIS DAY HAUNTS ME LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER KNOWN.TO SAY THAT I MISS YOU WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT THAT COULD NEVER BE BREECHED.

ALTHOUGH THIS LETTER WILL NOT SEE INTO YOUR HEART I MUST CONFESS THAT MY LIFE HAS A WHOLE THAT NOTHING HAS COME CLOSE TO FILLING AND DON MY LOVE FOR YOU IS AS STRONG TODAY AS IT WAS THEN.

I LET YOU GO BECAUSE I WAS UNAWARE THAT YOU COULD LOVE ME BACK. IF A PERSON HAS NEVER BEEN LOVED HOW CAN THAT SAID PERSON LOVE IN RETURN?

WHEN I CAME BACK I MARRIED THE FIRST GUY WHO DID ME RIGHT AND ONE NIGHT WE MET UP AT THE BAR AND YOU DROVE ME HOME TO A SMALL MOTEL AND THE PLACE REPRESENTED EVERYTHING I FELT ABOUT MY LIFE. THE SEX WE HAD WAS AWFUL.THE LOVE UNSURE.

IF I COULD HAVE ONE MORE NIGHT WITH YOU THEN MY LIFE COULD RESUME TO NORMAL FOR THEN I COULD FINALLY PUT YOU TO REST AND MAYBE MOVE ON.THEN I COULD LOOK AT OUR LOVE AS A GROWING EXPERIENCE AND LEARN FROM THAT NIGHT I LET YOU WALK AWAY TO GO FISHING WITH YOUR UNCLE.

I SEND THIS ON THE AIRWAYS MAYBE WITH THE HOPE YOU WILL FIND ME AGAIN.

UNTIL DAKOTA BRINGS US TOGETHER AGAIN,

KITTEN
