love, rosie 403me are finally overflowing into this pen and I’m leaving this letter for you sothat you don’t feel that I’m putting you under any great pressure. I understandthat you will need to take your time trying to decide on what I am about tosay.I no what’s going on, Rosie; you’re my best friend and I can see the sadnessin your eyes. I no that Greg isn’t away working for the weekend. Younever could lie to me; you were always terrible at it. Don’t pretend that everythingis perfect because I see what’s going on. I see that Greg is a selfish manwho has absolutely no idea just how lucky he is and it makes me sick.He is the luckiest man in the world to have you, Rosie, but he doesn’tdeserve you and you deserve far better. You deserve someone who loves youwith every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly,someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering whatyou’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You needsomeone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect youfrom your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, loveevery part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone whocan make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy. Someone whoshould have taken the chance to be with you years ago instead of becomingscared and being too afraid to try.I’m not scared anymore Rosie. I am not afraid to try.I no what that feeling was at your wedding—it was jealousy. My heartbroke when I saw the woman I love turning away from me to walk down theaisle with another man, another man she planned to spend the rest of her lifewith. It was like a prison sentence for me. Years ahead without me being ableto tell you how I feel or hold you how I wanted to.Twice we stood beside each other at the altar, Rosie. Twice. And twicewe got it wrong. I needed you to be there for my wedding day but I was toostupid to see that I needed you to be the reason for my wedding day. But wegot it all wrong.I should never have let your lips leave mine all those years ago in Boston. Ishould never have pulled away. I should never have panicked. I should neverhave wasted all those years without you. Give me a chance to make them up toyou. I love you, Rosie, and I want to be with you and Katie and Josh. Always.
