Dear A:
I don't understand why you don't write back. I thought you said we'd write. I miss you so much I can't even say. Dad works all the time or is on the road. Mom. Mom is mom. They don't know why I'm so sad. They always ask, but I haven't told them anything. They wouldn't understand.
I hate San Rafael. It's cleaner here than Newport and a lot prettier. The Golden Gate Bridge is amazing. Dad drives over it every day. We've gone into San Francisco once or twice. It's kinda cool. Would be cooler with you here. I guess you don't miss me tho cause you never write back or call. I wish you had e-mail. Course you'd probably ignore those, too. I think I have to stop writing you. You said we loved each other.
Is that still true?
