Love Willa,

Dear David

Dear David Brandon,

August 3,2006 Jefferson middle school . I had apparently caught your eye when I walked into the school for the first time, seeing laughing faces and groups that was already formed because they knew each other from the previous year in elementary school. I stuck out like a sour thumb or like you used to say a horse in the middle of a field filled with cows. I never understood that analogy but hey it worked for you so I was going to let you keep it- it still doesn't make sense to me and I'm twenty-five now- but hey if it still works for you i'm not going to say anything else about it.
Anyways, How are you? I hope your doing well. Did you Graduate from the University of Alabama like you always hoped you would or did you sizzle out like you always feared you would? I sure hope not because your to smart for that, to handsome(at least I hope you still are). Do you have a family now, A woman who appreciates you like your suppose to be appreciated, do you have kids and if so did you have a girl like you always hoped? Did you name her Aurora? Now that I think about this you were to young to be talking about having kids and I was to young to be hoping I would be the one having your kids.
Sorry I should probably explain why I am writing you after all these years of not talking or seeing each other I was uhm recently cheated on and the bastard" She crossed Bastard out quickly since she wrote in pen."I mean man is having a child with another woman, and my best friend, you might remember her. Christina Tiller told me to write to him about everything I was feeling and stuff but I just realized that its not just about me and him anymore it's really about everyone i've dated in my life and that includes you David so yeah i'm just going to get started now you know just so I don't lose my courage to write to you.
I want to thank you for showing me what a true boyfriend should be like, even if we were in the sixth grade and was only the short age of thirteen, your parents taught you right or maybe you learned from experience, or maybe just maybe you were born with the skill of how to take care of us females. Anyways you were perfect- so perfect that I wish I could turn back time and go back to sixth grade and walk through those doors all over again just to see your bright charming and welcoming smile as you walked over to me.
I don't know what was better the first day we met or the day you asked me to the sweetheart dance even though we had two more years and we technically shouldn't have went because we would be wasting our parents money on dresses and suits and the awe of the dance would be off because we went the and seventh and then eighth grade, but we made it two years and seventh grade you took me to yet another sweetheart dance and it was even better than the first one and that in another is amazing. So to get back on track.
I don't know what all I could say because I thought then that every relationship had to have something bad in it but with you even when we were just thirteen I could tell the relationship was perfect and like we would say now "Relationship Goals" right it was awesome now that I think about it. It was always something about you that caught my eye, maybe your hair(you always had a different hairstyle or change of color. Do you still do that?) or the change of style one day you'd look like a nerd and the next Mr.Popular and the next a mixture of everything, it was really weird how you made them all look so careless.
You made me feel like a queen, like I was the only girl in the world and I realize now that its rare to feel like that in this world where men gets whatever the hell they want because they want it. You made me feel like I actually meant something and I felt like that for the rest of the school year and when I think back on you and the time we dated I still feel like a queen and the only girl in the world so thank you for that. Like a real thank you.
You were my first boyfriend the one that set the pace for the rest of my life, you were the one who set the standard of what a date should look like of what it should feel like when I was taken on a date by a courter or a boyfriend, you were the perfect Gentleman and I think that was my downfall, you were my downfall because after you David everything seemed to go downhill from there and like i've said plenty of times during this letter Thank you for being the best boyfriend I could have ever asked for.

Love Willa,
