To whom it may concern,

I am in love. It’s far from the worlds idea of the “normal” sort of love. There is a girl…

It all started on a message board over a year ago…that’s right, she doesn’t live near me. We are a few states apart. Big deal. I’ve never seen a picture. Never heard her voice, but there is something about her that drives me insane….in a good way. She’s everything that right with the world today. It’s more than a crush, it’s for real. Everyone that knows about my secret admiration doesn’t agree with it. They feel that it’s wrong. But, I can’t stop myself from loving her, writing poems about her, thinking about her in ways that I never thought of anyone before…not dirty ways…but still.

I was in love once before. My ex-lover’s name is Jessica. I was so in love with Jessica, but things changed…probably because throughout my time with her I had feelings for the other girl…the one I described above. Same thing with my OTHER ex-girlfriend, Mikelann. This ‘other girl’ has had me wrapped around her finger…in the good way…since I met her. It’s like, I need her to know, but I’m too afraid to tell her. I know, for a fact, that she likes someone else. Someone closer to her age and probably more beautiful than I. I know I don’t have a chance with this girl…but I just CANNOT STOP thinking about her! It’s making my crazier than I already am.

Please, someone, help me to get over this forbidden obsession. Have you ever dealt with something like this before? Do you know if what I feel is healthy or not? Can you tell me other ways to cope?

Sincerely,

Miss Marla
