Dear Annie,
I don’t even know if it’s still okay for me to call you Annie. That alone is cause enough for me to be writing this. If you’re reading this letter, it means that AJ did me a huge favor by giving it to you. I’m asking that you please give this letter (and hopefully me) a chance.
I’ve always thought that I come the closest possible to having a perfect life. Sure, it has its share of downsides but overall, life has been really good to me. Last week, my good streak came to an abrupt end. Since that day I’ve become a shell of the person that I once was. If ever one isolated event ever ruined me, it was what happened a week and a half ago today.
You left me. And I don’t know why. I know that I was neglectful at times, but we can work on that. I don’t see you ending this over something trivial. I’m not trying to make you feel guilty. I just need you to see how much of a positive effect you’ve had on me and how lost I am without you. I’m sure you’ve heard stories about my listlessness from the guys. And most likely, it’s all true. I’ve been a horrible person this week. Suspicious, self-centered and without concern for others. My world has been nothing without you in it.
I had no idea how to approach you about all this. So, I took Howie’s advice and thought of you, of us, and not just how I feel about you. And that led me to some of the things that connected us, that we had in common, in the first place: music and writing. You told me once that those two things speak to you like nothing else can. I wracked my brains for a song that would tell you how I’m feeling and I thought one of the earlier songs from me and the guys fit the situation perfectly.
To be happy
You're all I need
To make me happy
'Cause every time you're with me
All the tears inside the raindrops
All the sadness in my lifetime goes away
Oh just believe in me
All I need is someone
Who believes in me
And you're the good luck charm
You're the reason for the rainbows
God knows I'd hate to see ya go away
Baby don't leave me this way
If You stay
I'll give you what you want
And I'll show you I'm the only one for you
(If you stay)and if you stay
I'll show you how much I need you
Oh how much I need you babe
To be with you
I just wanna constantly be with you
'Cause only when you're around
All my problems
All the clouds inside my garden
All went away baby
(If you stay) If you stay I'll do anything you want
(I'll Show you)I'll show you I'm the only for you baby
And if you stay
I'll show you how much I need you
How much I need you
Oh baby forever
You have all my gratitude forever
To be who you are
Bringing me victory is a promise
My restrictions and my losses fly-high away
They fly
Stay baby I'll do anything you want
Anything you want
I'll show you how much I need you babe
If you stay with me
I'll show you
Baby I'll show you
Only if you stay
I know that I can’t ask you to stay without hearing why you left in the first place. But I’m willing to listen if you’re ready to talk. I’ll be at the Seaport Monday at noon. You don’t have to show up if you don’t want to.
But I’ll be there, and I’ll be waiting for you.
~Brian
