No Magic

Friday June 21st, 1996

Dear Ryan,

Hey. How's it going? Good I hope. Sorry to say, it's not so good here. Every time I get a letter from you, the more I miss you. I understand that you do not want to talk to, or even see me, but it still hurts. I want to be with you so bad.

In your letter you said that I walked out of your life for a year, and then wanted to see you again, but that was odd. Ryan, you were my boyfriend for that whole year. What was so odd about wanting to see you? I want to be with you. I want you to hold me, to have those moments together that we've waited a whole year to have. Even if it's every couple of weekends, or just once a month that I see you.

I know you've been dating. I hear quite a bit through the grapevine. Honestly, I was dating, too, but it didn't work out. There was no feeling. No magic, like there was with you. I've only dated one guy since we broke up, and I found out all he wanted me for was a show piece. I somehow got the reputation here as a 'beauty queen,' and as soon as word got out that you and I broke up, the offers came flying, and of course I chose a total jerk to date. He told me to basically put out, or get out. I realized how stupid I was for losing you.

Ryan, you haven't lost me. You never did. I don't want things the way they are, or the way they were. I want them better, that's all.

I want to see you once in a while. It doesn't have to be every day. I just want to know that I am cared for and can only know that if I see the emotion in your face. Hear it in your words. I need that security that can't be put on paper with pencil.

I care for you so much, and I don't want to lose you. I'm scared to death that I already have. I no longer have the fear of love, now it's the fear of losing it. I truly hope I haven't.

I'm going to check on a job today, and if I get it, I'll head down to see you as soon as I can. That's only if you want me to.

Also, there's a dance here on July 3rd. I want to invite you as my date. Please tell me you'll come, but if you don't, I'll try to understand.

Gosh I screwed things up so bad. I wish I could change the past, but I can't. I just hope it's not too late for the future.

We shared so many memories, and I hold each of them close to my heart. I've kept everything you've ever given me. I even have the dandelion you gave me one day in class.

I know that this may not mean a lot to you, but I love you. I've been in love with you from the first day I met you. A lot of things may have changed about me in the last year, but that love has always been the same. Always will.

I hope you take to heart what I've said. And remember, no matter what happens, or what decision you make, I'll be here for you. As a friend. A best friend. I love you.

Rita Rosalita

P.S. Please write back. Don't leave me in the dark.

P.S.S. Sorry it took so long to write back. I never got your letter until today.

For A Moment

To Rita, I know you're out there somewhere, existing without me, and it hurts. Never did I imagine it would come to this, having to exist without you. You were my best friend, so you said. But where are you now? I know you still think of me. I hope you think of me, like I still think of you. Love never ceases to exist, no matter how bad the hurt may be. I know I betrayed your trust. I lied to you. I guess once is all it takes to break the trust. I don't expect you to trust me again, but please believe me when I say, I love you and I always will. So goodbye for now, I hope someday I'll see you, even for a moment, you have no idea how happy that would make me. If you could only see me now, maybe, just maybe, you could listen and believe me when I say, I love you. I love you.  Ryan

Soul Is Undone

Dear Ryan, I've got so many things to say to you, I don't know where to start. I guess it's best to start from my heart. I forgive you, despite everything we've been through. I know we put each other through heaven and hell together. We were extreme lovers, the highest of high's and the lowest of low's. It seems our flames burned so hot that it was only a matter of time before we completely burned each other out. No regrets, the fire was worth the burning. After all, I think that's all I'll say. Except of course, that I'll love you forever, until my soul is undone in the life after this.  Jonah

Take A Breath

 Ryan,  The hardest thing you’ll ever have to do is believe in yourself again after everything’s fallen apart.⁠ When life shakes you like that, it’s easy to lose your faith. In yourself. In people. In the path you are on.⁠ It gets quiet, heavy and lonely. It can feel like no one really sees or understands what you’re going through. I need you to hear me on this.⁠ There’s still something in you that hasn’t quit. That light, it’s never gone out, it’s never left you. It’s always been there when you need it the most.⁠ ⁠You can call it hope, or strength, or stubbornness. I’ve called it resilience, and it’s gotten me through hell.⁠ You don’t have to figure everything out. Just get quiet enough to remember who you are. That will take you where you need to go. Who you are has helped you get through every single thing that’s ever come your way.⁠ You’ve made it this far, that counts, that matters.⁠ So take a breath. Then just find one reason to keep going and hold onto that. That’s will...
