Dear Collins,
Well thanks a lot. Glad to know I can count on your support. I suppose I should reply to all the nice stuff you said at the start of the letter but I can't get over the end of it. I'm seeing things I want to see? You don't even live here any more. Remember? You took off on us and left us to fend for ourselves after Angel died. Not that I blame you for that I mean, I know her death was hard on you and all. But the fact is that you don't live here any more and you can't see Roger. You can't see Roger and Mimi and you can't see me.
Maybe I am guilty of saying "if only this happened life would be perfect." And I know even if Roger loved me life wouldn't be perfect. But I do honestly believe he'd be happier with me. I mean sure we'd fight and he'd probably get jealous. And take me for granted sometimes. But on the other hand I'd go out of my way to make him happy. And he'd love me so he'd hate to see me hurting. I really think it could work out between us, if only he loved me like I love him. I think I'm being realistic here. But you seem intent on shattering my dreams.
How the hell would you know what it's like, anyway? You found love. You had perfect love for awhile. I know Angel died and I still miss her so much. But your love was still something incredible and I think you forget how lucky you were. You took off on us and were so caught up in Angel's death you forgot about what she gave you. Roger and I made a pact to not speak about Angel to you until you were ready, but you know what? I think it's time I stopped tiptoeing around you. We all lost her, not just you.
Unrequited love hurts you know. I was thinking about love today and came up with a few thoughts about it. I might use them in a film soon. Love is a really strong emotion and it can bring you great joy, great heartache or both - but never neither. You had great joy until Angel died, I guess. But I'm in such pain here. Love really does hurt. It's so extreme. It's both a blessing and a curse, and right now I'm definitely cursed. You never fell in love with your best friend. You in love with Benny? That's a laugh. You can't honestly tell me you know what I'm going through. I'm sorry I wrote to you now since you can't give me advice. How could you? You can't understand what I'm going through. Am I selfish? Probably. But I don't care any more. Guess I'm back to being alone again.
- Mark.
