I Remembered to Forget...

Dearest Susan,

Don't let me forget to tell you how wonderful you've made my life. Life, they say is what you make it. I can honestly say I could not have made my life be as special as it is now - that you're in it.

Finding you, the way I did, was so unbelievable. So much luck involved. The stars must have been aligned.

I don't want to get too deep or anything, but I just wanted to express a part of what I feel. I hope you think that's cool. Maybe this whole letter e-mailing thing is so yesterday, but I'm kind of a sucker for tradition. I should learn to text! Can't wait to see you.

Yours,

Sam



Hey Susan,

I had such a great time last night. It was so much fun. I can't believe the things you are open to. To be honest, I feel like an innocent little child having lived my whole life with my eyes closed. You need to tell me how you ever got the courage to open up like this. I think we need to go out further from this city. I am definitely not comfortable this close to home.

I'm sorry if I seem too prudish. I am sure that you will convert me soon enough! Dress up was fun!!

I'm not so sure talking to my co-worker is a good idea. Shouldn't we just keep our outings to the two of us?

Looking forward to next week!!!

Sam




Hey Susan,

I talked to my co-worker and she is willing to go out drinking with us. I didn't mention anything about anything other than drinks. You are a devil and I don't know how this is going to work out AND I don't know if I'm really comfortable with the whole thing - don't get mad - it's just so much so quick.

Anyways - I am looking forward to seeing you on Friday, regardless of what else happens.

Love you too much, and I can't imagine life without you.

Sam


Susan,

I love you. I can't picture my life without you. You define me. What we did was wrong. Oh my God, was it wrong - on so many levels. Please understand that I love how you make me feel and I love making you feel special too - and I don't want to jeopardize that - but we need to talk soon so that we can be comfortable with each other and our actions. This isn't a race - I want this relationship to be a marathon that lasts our whole life. I will admit I had fun. I will admit the experience was so wrong that it was beyond stealing from the cookie jar fun. The memories are getting me hot - for sure. I need to find a shower to cool down. :)

When can I see you next? It can't be soon enough.

Just to let you know - since we've started hanging out - I've stopped going to counseling. :))))

Love you with all my heart and soul,

Sam




Susan,

Oh my - just got your e-mail. Are you sure that will be safe? I don't mind taking risks but that really sounds dangerous. God, why do I let you talk me into doing all these wild and crazy things? I don't want this to flame to burn out quick. I love everything about you and will do just about anything you ask - ok, I'll do anything - but promise me you're in this for the long haul. I know it sounds paranoid - but to find this in my life - this amount of joy - this amount of love....it's just never happened before and I guess I'm just getting used to it.

Let's talk about this weekend before we do anything. Seriously.

...More than life itself,

Sam



The end.
