Camille!

Thanks for the talk tonight. I know we got off track with the project but I really needed it. You get me better than all the fools around here.

It's 4 in the morning and I told you I was going to sleep but I changed my mind. You are my mind. You live in my head. So I decided to write to you. I know you've been waiting on this. I'm good with writing songs but I guess writing letters isn't my thing. But I'll do it for you. I'll send it for your birthday. You notice that your birthday is 4-5 and mine is 6-7?

Anyway.

Y do U write like THIS? I never asked. It's kind of cool.  Like our birthdays.

I'm in LOVE with U. Let's get that out of the way. But it is very hard 2 see the future the way u do. That scares me more than anything. I don't think I want 2 TEACH music. I'm not thinking college after I graduate. I rather play. And I rather be the best. I want 2 do it all. I don't want 2 ever rely on anyone or come home and say, "Baby, I lost my job." I don't want that 4 us. I don't want that 4 U.

It's 7 AM now. I fell asleep. Since we're both not going 2 school I'm waiting 4 u 2 call. I dreamt of U. We were in the same bed I'm in right now. U write the rest.

Send me more pictures. I'm obsessed with the last one u sent. I still can't believe they put that in the yearbook! I know your mom is pissed. I'm surprised she paid for them.

I'm still mad about what u said last month

-A Girl With No Sense

U know damn well you're BEAUTIFUL. I have some pictures 2 send u BUT u WILL BE punished 4 calling my girlfriend ugly. And when I went 2 my dad's last weekend, he let me steal some baby pictures. Say hi 2 ur future son.

I really hope u stick around long enough 4 that. I understand ur concerns. If u want me 2 be honest, temptation walks past me in the hallway every day and it's hard not 2 look. But none of these girls measure up 2 u. Well...maybe up 2 your knee. But I still have hormones.

I want 2 be honest. But I also don't want 2 hurt u. But I'll be honest.

PLEASE DON'T HATE ME.

I don't know Y I'm even bringing it up.

I'm not going 2 tell u.

Well now I have 2 get new paper and start over.

Okay I started writing the other letter but I think I'll just tell u.

God gave me U. And I thank him every moment I can 4 that. U r more than just my girl. U r my best friend. But God also has brought other girls in my life that mean something 2 me 2. Please don't take this the wrong way. Because I already said I'm in love with U. But there is another girl that I've grown close 2.
