a letter to my gradeschool crush, whom i saw recently.

Dear Eddie,

Remember that Valentine's Day card I got for you one year (February 14, 1998)? I thought it was a good idea at the time, but reflecting back on it now, I realized that I made some gross errors:

1. Quoting the lyrics "what i like about you, you keep me warm at night, never wanna' let you go, know you make me reel alright, yeah" was probably not the best way to express my romantic side...hey.
2. Saying you had a body like battleaxe seemed true at the time. My bad.
   
3. The phrase "keep it real" is not an appropriate way to end a love card.

That said, I hope this finds you good health.

Sincerely,

Emily
