Dear Nicole,

It's me. I know we haven't talked since the divorce, but I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I needed to write you; I can't get you out of my head.

When we split, I lost myself in work - most days I even forgot to eat. I worked to keep my mind off of what happened, and for a while, it did the trick.

But my company only has so much for me to do, and once the work ran out, I couldn't hide from the truth anymore. I lost you. You aren't here, and it's my fault.

Do you remember when we first met? At the carnival that night, I couldn't believe my good luck when the ride operator yelled that you needed a partner for the Ferris wheel. You were so embarrassed, but you were the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen - even with your cheeks all red.

My friend and I both ran up to get on the ride with you, but I was faster. We'd noticed you and your friends in line of course, but you were the one I couldn't take my eyes off of.

I'm sorry that I stopped. I'm sorry for so many things.

Love, Eli

Dear Nicole,

It's me, Eli. I know we haven't talked since the divorce, but I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.

I needed to write you, because I can't stop thinking about you. When you left, I spent all of my time working. I worked so much I even forgot to eat some days.

I worked so I wouldn't be sad, and for a while, it helped. But after I finished all the work, I had to face what happened. I couldn't keep hiding from the truth anymore, because I lost you.

You aren't here, and it's my fault.

Do you remember when we first met? At the carnival that night, I couldn't believe it when the man running the Ferris wheel yelled that you needed a partner.

You were so embarrassed! But you were also the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. My friend and I both ran to get on the ride with you, but I was faster. We saw you and your other friends in line, but you were the one I was interested in.
