The Love Letter

Dear Leonardo,  

To begin, I know that you are use to girls who are socialites from well to do families.  I didn't answer you last night because I couldn't and although it will be difficult for you to follow this letter, it's important that you read it. 

Unlike you, I am not ivy league, nor class President.  I don't have fancy clothes in fact, I don't even have a car.  Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing here other than my grades afford me a scholarship.  I know I should be proud of that and I guess I am in a way but .........

 Truthfully the only thing I could attend was your picnic, knowing that my shoes were perfect for volleyball in the sand.  I mean......

 How could I ever invite you to my home?  Not wanting to make this an epistle and simply put, I feel that I am not good enough for you but please know.....

I wish you well and hope that you meet someone like me who as you said, races your heart..

Love, Judy

Judy....you let him go??? What do those socialites have on you? I'd have fought for him....especially if it is a Leonardo DiCaprio! ;) Just teasing. Very lovely read. Thanks ever so much for your post on my latest poem. So kind of you. I didn't know you read my work. I'm touched!
