Date: Thursday
Dan,
I'm done with Zelda, but if Steve hasn't been asking I guess I can just give it to you the next time I see you (if we go back for Thanksgiving, for example). Otherwise, I guess it's your call. I'm not sure about the check, but either way I can mail it to you.
I promise to try not to harp on you (I'd like to stay away from the ex-girlfriend from hell motif, if possible), but I do have a few things that have come to mind. I'll write them out here, and you can peruse them at your leisure...And take them as you may, I suppose.
1) I think you're making a mistake.
And I have a few questions, too:
1) Have you prayed about this a lot? I sure have, and unless I'm completely blinded by emotion (entirely possible), God and I both think you're wacko. (One's opinion is always justified when you have God on your side, I've found.)
Based on your method of answering e-mails, I'll try not to lose sleep over any of the previous statements or questions, but a somewhat timely reply is always appreciated. (Please write my other address; this is more my junk mail address.)

2) I'm afraid you're going to do the typical (and thus unreproachable) thing that one usually does after breaking up with a signifigant other, i.e., develop an intense fear of being around them and avoid them for the rest of your life.
3) I really don't want you to do this. ((2), I mean)
4) I still want to do things with you, but considering (2) affects nearly every person who has every ended a relationship, that'll be your call, too.
2) Are you ever going to talk to me willingly again?
3) Is being friends a possibility? Over the course of our relationship you did become my best friend as well as my boyfriend, and now with your sudden revulsion of one role in my life, I've lost both.
