My name is Leo Alexander and I'm a coward. There, I said it. It's not the most flattering thing any man would say about himself, but if I'm going to do what I should have done a long time ago and that is being honest, I might as well start with my lack of confidence which has brought me to this juncture in my life.
I have loved only one woman, but I've never dared to approach her and tell her how I feel, and now I'm reduced to someone hiding behind a pen and a piece of paper to express that which I could not in person.
When my eyes finally opened to the realization that she will never love me, was the day my obsession took root, and with every passing year grew in strength until it consumed me and never let go.
I wish to end this unhealthy obsession, hoping that it will allow me to move forward. By writing these letters I hope to do just that, but whether it will have the desired effect is anyone's guess.
I haven't seen her in a long time, and in my case, it's not a matter of out of sight out of mind. On the contrary, her absence has increased my longing to see her, at least one last time.
What should I do if my wish does come true?
Only time will tell…
