Dear—my love—Sandy,

Just in case you didn't missed who the sender is, its Sodapop. I know you don't wanna hear from me but I have a couple things I need to tell you.

As long as your happy with your choices, I won't be angry. I will say I'm a little disappointed and upset but my greatest wish for is your happyness. For me, my joy comes from you. However, if that is not the case for you, just say the word and I'll leave your life forever.

Forgiveness works both ways, too. I know I probably could've stood up to your parents with you. Then, you would never have to leave. If we are to start again, whether it be a friendship or an intimate relationship, we need to start with a clean slate. And this is where I start to plead to you: please forgive me for any wrong I've done to you. Not standing up to your parents, getting a little too routy at the rodeos, being a drop-out with no way to get a secure job. Most of these I could've fixed, but instead didn't do anything about them which probably just drove you away from me even more. I'm sorry, Sandy. Please forgive me.

I also want you to know that even though its not mine, I'm willing to care for the baby as its father. I bet it'll have your beautiful blue eyes and radiant smile. This baby is a gift that I want to help protect. No giving it up for adoption. Not letting your grandmother take care of it. I want to help. This baby is the way I want to make a life with you, Sandy. It could be the beginning of both its life and our fairytale.

I love you Sandy, even though I never had the guts to tell you before. I knew for a long time, deep down inside that I did love you. And now I might never be able to tell it to your face because I never had the guts. I don't think anyone in the world could ever take you place in my heart. Please consider my words. I'll always be here for you. I miss you beyond belief. Come back to me, Sandy.

Love,

Sodapop Curtis
