dear curtis,
i do not wish to bore you with unneeded greetings and other formalities, so i will skip to the point, very uncharacteristic of me.
i owe you an explanation, i know beloved curtis, i owe you an apology. i know you grieved for me, all those years, and i am sorry i made you. but i am nothing but a coward who doesn't deserve your love. the love of anybody. but your sister, she is very persistent. and i can't say i hate it, for it would he untrue.
i know I never truly loved you, but there was something about you that drew me to you. maybe it was the similarities between you and vinessa.
my dear curtis, i was never attracted to you but to the risk you brought. for all we had was an illegal love. and that is the only love I would he able to give you.
sincerely,
harold
