My dearest Daisy,
My first letter to you didn't arrive on time. I was too late. I knew I was a fool to stay in Europe as long as I did. I knew that you wanted a man that was worth something, a man that was to be a somebody. I became a somebody and now you are gone. You wanted a man of stature, wealth, and status. Everything I did, I did it for you.
You see, I had a choice when I first kissed you. One was to stop right away and live the rest of my life without you, and then the second was to keep kissing you, making me fall ever so deeply in love with you. Because every night since that one fateful night we spent with one another, I knew that I would never be able to live without you. Nothing else would ever matter. Nothing matters but you. I was forever yours through that kiss.
The only reason I threw those parties was so I could see you again, just you and only you. I could admire you. I could speak words of love to you. I could dance the night away with you. I could laugh with you. I could be near you once more. I could hold you in my arms. I could kiss you ever so gently on your lips. I could be with you.
The location of the mansion was so I could your home across the bay. The mansion was for you. I wanted to be impressed by my wealth. I wanted you to feel welcome in it. I wanted you to know that you be safe within its walls. And most of all, I wanted you to be with me.
Daisy I have so many plans for us. We can start a new life. We can have a new beginning with each other. We can live side by side till death do us part. We can be together in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer. But I will never let you go without. You will want for nothing. I would give you the world Daisy.
I am at your disposal Daisy. I want you to understand that your wish is my command. Your happiness means everything to me. I would do anything, anything! For you, and all you have to do is whisper it, and it will be done.
All you have to do is tell Tom that you do not love him. Daisy, he never treated you with respect or decency. Tom has had countless affairs! How could a husband love his wife, but keep a mistress or two? Daisy, when I tell I have never thought of another woman but you, it is Gods truth. I would never disrespect you in that way. I would remain by your side through anything. That man has never done anything good for you.
Daisy, I want you to know that I am faithful and honest to you. I have never nad will never be dishonest or unfaithful. I will watch you and keep you safe from all harm. I will shield you from those who are cruel and hurtful. I will always be here for you. I will come to your side at any time you need me. I will wait for you until the end of time.
And every night, I watch that green light, flashing and beckoning to me like a moth to a flame. But I would never dare touch it, so I stretched out my arms and embraced its glow, but never came in contact with it. That light reminded of what I lost only five years ago. I lost you.
The truth is Daisy, I love you.
Forevermore Yours,
Gatsby
