Shelly,

It’s late at night and I know you haven’t responded yet…but I can’t stop staring at your smiling pink cheeks in this photo. So I’m going to write this letter and put it in my mailbox while I have the courage.

Maybe this is ridiculous, and maybe I am so far out of my lane here. But these letters are making me feel bold, and writing to you has given me courage that I haven’t had in a long time. I would hate myself for eternity if I don’t shoot my shot after clearly failing to in high school.

I can’t pass up the opportunity now.

Can I make up for that night on the band bus all of those years ago?
