Leo and Stargirl <3

A Letter

January 1st,

I had just gotten out of my shift at Margie's when I thought about you again, more than I usually do.. Everyonce in a while I think about you, but not like this. I miss you, I miss you like I did on the day I left. As soon as I got on my bike I couldn't help shedding a few tears, everything slowly faded into a blur as the tears gathered in my eyes. When I was coming home I decided to check the mail, I saw the usual advertisements and such, but I also saw a letter with a blue envelope, a porcupine sticker, and a big stamp that had "To: Stargirl, From: Leo" written on it. I immediately thought of the time I had thought I saw you on your bike at the dance, the time you followed me into the desert, the time cinnamon jumped on your shoulder, the time we kissed, I missed you even more than I had when I was riding my bike home, my slight crying had turned to a  what seemed like a hurricane of thoughts and emotions pouring down my face, and onto my clothes. I ran inside and ran uptairs into my room, trying to avoid any and all contact from my parents, I wasn't ready to admit to them how I was feeling, especially after all this time. I'm still not, not even after I saw the contents of the letter. As soon as I could dampen the flow of my tears, I opened the letter. At the moment I was hoping for an apology, a confession, something concrete enough for me to feel something other than regret. But all I saw was a ten digit number and two words written in pen "call me :)". I can't explain in words the plethora of feelings I had at that very moment, I was so angry that was all you wrote, but so happy that you wrote to me, and so jilted that it had taken you over 5 years to write me back, and a lifetimes worth of regret that I had not written you back either. I know that these feelings are only temporary, but I can't deny that they are here. I don't know if I am ready to open up to you again, Leo. Have you grown since the last time we talked? Or are you the same person who blew me off all those years ago. I guess you will have to prove yourself, just like Archie said...
