14 - letter exchange 10
dear lindsey,
its kinda funny how far things have come isnt it? im okay with it, though. i think everything has turned out great. i promised you things would take the turn for the better. your grades are going to improve too! haha. when i saw you smile last week - so large, wide, and real; man you have no idea how happy i was. i hadnt seen you smile like that since eighth grade, but i hope i see it so much more often because i think it looks perfect on you.
when i went to your school the other day, you have no idea how...full of life it seemed to be. i think you did that. no rehab school is so cheery. you showed everyone at your school that even after being so depressed, you can and will find happiness. youre an inspiring person, lindsey. youre my inspiration.
i know this doesnt seem like a proper way to ask someone out, but i feel like its proper for our situation. i mean, this is how we communicated for a while.. but with that said, linney, please be my girlfriend again?
love, zachary :*
dear zach,
i can honestly say it feels so weird being happy without an actual valid reason. i just walk around school with a smile, like i did in eighth grade. it feels weird, but nice.
that smile was because of you. actually, the whole reason i am where i am now is because of you. where am i now? im happy; im healing.
what you said about me putting life into my school actually makes me feel so much better about myself. i like to believe i had that affect on my classmates. they do all seem more cheerful then they did before. the quiet ones talk to one other and the bullies are all friendly now. they came a long way too.
youre my inspiration too, zach. i love you. hehe, i love writing that almost as much as i love saying it. even though ive never said it to you aloud! i will when i see you this weekend. because guess what?! i gained a pound and a half!!! 76-1/2 pounds baby!
youre right, asking me out through letter seems perfect for us to do. so, yes. i will be your girlfriend again.
love, linney<3
