Dear Aly,

I just can’t get you out of my mind.

Never could I have imagined that enemies like us would wind up in the same bed. I’m certain that it’s the best sex you’ve ever had.

As much as I’m not a decent man, I for the first time wish I were just for you.

You’re beautiful, smart and are not afraid to challenge and correct me.

As much as I love you, I know that I may never have you.

You have a new guy, and the mere thought of him touching you makes my heart bleed.

But don’t mind me. This is just the whiskey talking.

Rob

P.S.—You're on my mind, though I won't send this.

Dear Jane,

I’m a thief and you’re royalty: a princess.

This isn’t some Disney movie where we'll enjoy our happily ever after—though I wish it were one.

When we crossed paths, I thought that you were a snob. Turns out that couldn’t have been further from the truth.

You stole my heart from the day we met.

I fed you with so many lies, and I don’t deserve your leniency.

The one thing I was however honest with was my feelings for you.

You’re far too good for me, and I wish you nothing but true happiness.

I’m sorry.

Charlie
