Here's just a quick little one shot about Holly's letter to Michael from Lecture Circuit Part 2. This is my first Office fanfic, but I have another in the works.
This is written as if Holly wrote Michael three different times and decided not to send the letter three times.
I would like to thank Emily92 for being an amazing Beta and for making these letters sound better. Thanks! You're the best.
Enjoy! Mangotango101

Dear Michael,
I'm so sorry. I know that's not what you want to hear - sorry is the last thing you want to hear, but I can't help myself. I feel so awful about saying that we wouldn't work. I miss you so much it hurts. There are some things that I need to get off my chest, though.
Michael, you are the most wonderful man I have ever met. You understand me like no one else does. All of my jokes, and my "nerdiness." I miss coming into work and hearing you call me "Holly-gram" or "Holly-pop." No one here has a nickname for me. I'm lonely here in Nashua. I'm tired of coming home to an empty house. I want more than anything to come back to Scranton, but I'm not worthy of you anymore - I broke your heart.
I will love you forever,
Holly-pop

Dear Michael,
I still miss you. Michael, I have something to say. I found someone. He works in sales and he's really sweet and nice. And he doesn't really care that I'm a dork. He's like you in that way. I just need you to know that I'm trying to move on. I'm going to try and make Nashua a good place for me to live. I think that AJ will really help me.
Don't worry – I'll never forget you. You taught me to love again. I hope we can talk soon. I really do miss you.
Love,
Holly

Dear Michael,
Well, here we are – a few months later. Michael, I need you to know something. I'm still seeing AJ. We've been together for a month now. I still miss you a lot, but I want you to know that I'm moving on. I'm trying to find happiness again, and I hope you are too.
Michael, I'm with AJ now, but I still feel like there's a part of me missing. I feel awful about it. When I'm trying to sleep at night, I should be thinking about my boyfriend, but instead I find myself faced with a montage of all the amazing times we've had together. Every laugh, every joke, every moment. It's not fair to AJ for me to be having these thoughts, but I can't help myself. AJ feels like a placeholder, but I can't say for how long. Michael, I think that we're too alike to not be together. I can't say that we can or should be together now, but Michael, I haven't given up on us. We can still happen, just not now. My heart is yours, but AJ is borrowing it. When the time is right, we will be together and happier than either of us could imagine.
I love you.
Holly
I hope you enjoyed! Keep an eye out for my new story about Michael and Holly. Don't worry, the others aren't going on the shelf, I promise.
