dear neil,

i'm sorry that it's been so long. i always apologize for my lack of letters. i miss you. i really do.

i don't want you to think that i've forgotten you. i've decided to start seeing michael. he's kind, neil. he's what i need right now. well, i need you.

i can't spend the rest of my life waiting for you to come back, though. i need to move on. i feel so guilty for it. i feel so awful to leave you behind. i will always remember you. how could i not? you made sure that you were unforgettable.

i think it's time i stop these letters, just for a bit. i can't spend everyday writing to someone who will never respond. i know it sounds mean. i don't want to be mean, but i want to be happy. i know that you would want me happy.

i'm so sorry,
todd
