Iam sure there was something that changed about Una. It must have been Walter. When I came back to PEI, I saw my little Una at the station. There was no physical change, but she seems so stiff. I am not good with words, but I can not express what I want to say without them.
Una this is for you,
When I was at the front, I would think about your dark blue eyes. When I look up at the moon, I always imagined them to be you pupils staring at me. I would feel a little better about lying on my back. When I see the moon, I see you. I see your eyes. I always thought they were the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. Even though Faith was more beautiful than you, but your inner beauty radiated out further than of Faith's. That was probably why I fell in love with you. You never forced me to entertain you. You know I hate speaking endless, pointless words. You knew me. I knew you too. I knew you had a sweet love for Walter. My brother, though, never noticed because he was constantly in another world. You should have told him. I never said a word about this secret because I loved you. I wanted to protect you from the people out there, that would say nasty things about you.
I know I am younger than you by a year. I know I may never be handsome enough for you or poetic. All I have with me is my promise, my promise to love you.
Will you try to love me? Will you try to warm up to me? Will you try to be my lady? Perhaps my bride?
Will you promise to someday be Mrs Shirley Blythe?
Your,
Shirley
I left it at the doormat of her house, praying that it would be she that opens it. My very first love letter, I wish I would be my last.
