THE LETTER

THE LETTER is a love letter Maddox wrote to 80's Girl in 2017. Maddox was 39 years old at the time of writing this letter. 

Dear 80's girl:

''I'm sorry I didn't do a good job of understanding you. I know that I can do better.''

''I love you and care about you more than anyone I know. You are still the person I think of when I want to smile. [sic] You make me smile. You have made me a kinder, gentler and more patient person, even though I have more work to do. I know what you need right now is space, so I'm going to give it to you. I wish things could have been different. I hope things will be different. If they are not, I understand. I'll be heartbroken, but I'll understand.''

''I'm sorry if I ever hurt you. You don't deserve that. You are a good, kind, and sensitive person. I should be more sensitive in the future. If things don't work out between us, then at least I can say I tried my best. And in case they don't, then I just want to say thank you for briefly being a part of my life.''

''I'll always treasure the memories we have together. We've had more good times than bad. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are my best friend. I'm lucky to have known you. I miss you, and I LOVE you. [sic] Thanks for being a part of my life.''

Sincerely, Love, Maddox.
