Dear Sally, Dear Selma, Dear Molly, Dear Andrea, Dear Mandi, 

     I miss you, I haven’t forgotten you, I still think of you, every night, I think of you often, Your eyes, Your lips, I find myself staring into space and when I come to, I lose myself in thoughts of you, I drove fifteen miles the wrong way, I left my wallet on the hood, Your smell fills this room, this whole, I found your earring in my closet, I bought a necklace because it made me think of you, There’s a cabin, a friend of mine owns it, I have something for you, a surprise, Remember the winery, Remember the paddle boats, Remember our day at the Met, Remember El Oriental, There’s something there, There’s a thing we have, We have something strong, The two of us have a connection, Our connection is special, You feel, I know you feel it, too, You must feel, I only wish we’d had more time, I only wish you’d called me back, I only wish you’d see me again, I wish I could touch you one last time, Your husband’s no good for you, Francis is a girl’s name, Your boyfriend doesn’t see you how I, It might not be an easy life, but it, Things might be difficult at first, but love, True love will make our hardships small, Love, there, I said it, I will say it again, You don’t have to love me, At first you might not love me, I know to love me the way I love you is a lot to ask, I don’t expect a miracle, I’m not hoping for, All I ask is another chance, If you give me one more chance, I can’t promise, I promise, I promise, I promise, It’s not too much to ask, I’ve seen you, I’ve looked for you, I’ve called you, But you didn’t notice me, But you must have changed your number, I’ve left you messages, You won’t return my messages, But I want you to know, You need to know, If there’s something you must know, There’s nothing I won’t do, There’s nothing at all I won’t do, Nothing in this world will keep me, I will find a way to bring you back, You will come back,

     And I’ll be here.

     I’ll be right here waiting for you.
