THE LETTER


Dear Jack,

How would one describe a loss of something or rather, someone who was never yours? Is the pain you feel even legitimate? I must confess now before it’s too late!

For years now – twelve years to be exact – I have been in love with you. Consider it my own cowardice or my naivety, that I never said so about it to you. Although all my friends knew! Through college, your girlfriend, your work, your breakup – my affection for you has continued to grow. I tried giving up but every time I did, you ended up appearing in front of me for some reason or the other.

I had heard that your parents were searching for a good match for you. Well, I am a girl who is a good human being at heart. So, if you would consider me to be your potential partner, I would like to send my parents over to your home to talk to yours. You know my number – you can call me up and convey to me – your answer.

Yours Truly,
Ann
