My Dearest Daisy,
You must forgive me, my dear, for I am afraid I have never been good with words. Simply because words cannot express the love I feel for you, and no matter how I start this letter, I am fearful that it would never truly capture my feelings for you. I wish that we could be together forever, and I wish that our love could be a beacon of light that will guide the world out of its own chaotic nature. Day after day I spent hours hoping that by some miracle, things would go back to the way they once were, with you by my side.
I had been throwing wild parties as well, in the hopes that maybe one day you would decide to come for a visit. I realize now that this was a mistake, since these rowdy people do not know the meaning of the word "class".
Again, I must ask for your forgiveness. If I weren't gone for so long, you never would have married Tom. I know the way he treats you, it's the same way he treats everyone else, with comtempt. He's no good for you Daisy, you need to see that. I promise I will mend any wounds he might have inflicted upon you, both physical and mental.
The more I thought about my future, the more you kept appearing in my visions until one day, I realized I have no future unless you're with me. There is nothing more I can say now. I can write until my pen runs out of ink, but I will never truly express all the love for you in my heart. So now Daisy, I leave you, and I am eagerly awaiting your return into my life.
Love now and forever,
Jay Gatsby
Dear Jay,
ReplyDeleteThere is no need for you to apologize. It was not in either of our hands to stop what was meant to happen.
I also wish that we could go back to those good days of Louisville, Kentucky. However, wishing will get us no where. We have to face the reality sooner or later. I love you, just as much as you love me. I also have a family, Jay. I have a daughter, who I don't want split between Tom and I.
Tom is my husband, despite his disloyalty. I know of his bad deeds, but have always thought that one day he will mend his ways back to me. I want to be honest with you, I never thought about you after marriage. Jordan brought you up that day and it was then, when all the memories flooded my mind. I really realized how I felt about you.
I love you dearly Jay. I don't know what to do. I love you, but can't leave Tom and my daughter. I am caught in this web, and it just feels like there is no way out. I need some time to think this over Jay. I know that you will fill every last wound of mines, but I don't think it is right. I am sorry Jay.
Love, Daisy
