What Happened When We Met

Letters Part II

Dear Roger,

We both know we're too hardcore to be doing this. But what can we do? They got us into this. I never have much to say, but I've been meaning to ask you the following question: What does it feel like to have better hair than your girlfriend? I think that's the thing that caught my attention first. Your smile too, even though you have the tiniest lips I've ever seen (and I thought mine were small). I've been thinking a lot lately. I'm always thinking, I guess that's why I don't talk much. You make me talk my dear, but the thing that makes me happier, is that even the silence feels good when I'm with you. How long do you think this will last? I know things don't last forever, but I really hope this lasts a decent amount of time. I'm happy you're going to that camping trip. Be safe. I'll see you in a week.

Love, Emma.

Querida Emma,

Yesterday you gave me the letter, and tomorrow I'm going on that trip. I have been packing, it's been a while that I haven't gone, I'm afraid that I'll get too tired. I'll be missing you the whole time. After the last conversation we had, I feel the need to remind you that you are beautiful. You are young and you have enough time to figure out what you want to do with your life. Just don't waste it by saying the same negative shit you always say. You are an amazing girlfriend and friend. I can't believe you accepted to go out with me. You're just too good for me. You and your friends are the best thing that happened to us. And about that, I don't care how much it may last,let's just enjoy everyday like it is the last one.

Love, Roger.

Roger,

Today we had our first fight. Notice how I didn't write "Dear". You stress me out sometimes you know? I think that trip instead of doing you good, made you a different person, a different Roger and I can't recognize you.
You never told me that she was going. And it's not that I'm jealous, it's just that I feel like you lied to me. And the day you got here, instead of coming to tell me that you were okay and everything, you went to a party. Did you forget about me? Never, ever call me bipolar again. That is a big deal in this house.

Emma.

Emma,

I'll tell you the truth, I didn't know she was going, someone else told her to go, and we went out a long time ago, that is way over now, I don't care about her. I didn't lie because I didn't know. And about the party, I had no choice I wasn't the one driving. And you know what? I never tell you to explain yourself to me, when you tell me you can't go out to dinner, or to the movies, I understand that I'm not everything in your life. Forgive me if I offended you in any way. I'll see you tomorrow.

Roger.

Dear Roger,

Thank you for clearing everything with me. I'm sorry that sometimes I overreact a little. But I don't trust people, you know about the last time I fell in love. It's not that I don't trust you, sometimes I get scared, but everything is fine now. Thank you for taking me to dinner last night. I mean nothing's hotter than watching you make pizza. Oh well, say hi to your mom for me. I have to go design the new band merch for the next concert. Also I have a space next week if you want to come and get your tattoo done.

Love, Emma.

Dear Emma,

I like that my mom loves you so much, and my sisters too. They told me to invite you to my sister's birthday party. It's two weeks from now. Will you be my date? And you know you don't have to be scared with me, I'm not like that, I barely talk to guys, even less to girls. And yes, I will go get my tattoo done, cause nothing's hotter than you so concentrated in drawing on skin. I know that you're Ronnie's best friend, would you ask him to send me the song he wrote, so we can start working on it. This project we have going on is gonna be awesome. I can't wait to play with your band.

Love, Roger.
