Forget me never...

Letter 5

My Love,

Receiving your letter and your picture made me so happy...

You're more beautiful than I remember! So no more pigtails? You were looking great with them and now you look amazing, breathtaking! I will keep this picture always with me. Your smile warms up my heart and makes my days full of sunshine!

I read your lines again and again... you telling me that you love me! Nothing could make me happier.. Even if the circumstances don't let us live our love the way we deserve, knowing that you love me is enough to make me the happiest man on Earth.

And your letter is full of surprises for me! I didn't know that Albert was also your Uncle William! So if I'm right, he is your friend, your uncle and your adoptive father?!!! Wow what a man! You're right he could make a good actor, maybe I should invite him to Broadway!

I'm laughing now but when I read the lines about your engagement to Neal, it took me everything not to take the first train to come to kill that coward! What was he thinking? I can not believe that you had to deal with all this! My sweet freckled darling... I wish I was there with you to stop that engagement, to beat that coward and to have you in my arms forever...

I pray that Neal and his sister stop bothering you now... They both make me sick!

The other thing that makes me sick is to talk about Susanna but I guess you want to know about her... about my miserable life with her... Well, she is always the same, looking at me with her begging and loving eyes. She keeps smiling, doesn't say anything about herself, she just smiles and smiles... As if she isn't from this world... Lately I'm a little bit more concerned about her health, she seems to loose weight, her eyes seem to loose their lights but I don't know. She doesn't say anything. I will take her to the doctor tomorrow, I have to take good care of her and her health. She gave up on everything for me! I don't deserve to be loved that much...

Freckles... there is something that I'm dying to ask you since the first lines of this letter. Just don't say no before thinking of it. I will go for a tour next week and I will stop by to Chicago for two representations. You probably already saw the tickets attached to the letter, for you and Albert. Please come to see me on stage we could have a talk after the play. We could talk about the old days, you, me and Albert. Please come to see me... Let's forget about my duty for a day, let's be the kids from St Paul! We have the right to be happy too... even if it's only for a day.

Can you imagine? If you come to see me there, it will be like we are married and I come to my wife after the play and she tells me about her day at work... As if our dreams were come true!

Please come!!!

I love you more than anything,

Terry
