I am going to tell you, dear typewriter, some things I want to say to somebody if I only had the courage. it makes me happy to see how in love you are with him. and though I wish I could have been there for you and I know you say that I was in my own special way but I wish you could have told me so I could have done something said something been there so I could have given you every ounce of love I feel for you. So in conclusion, I want you to know that I really do care even if I don't know how to show it.
