Analysis of Dear Heather

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Dear Heather,
       I am writing you these letters,
To let you know that I miss you.
I think of you all of the time
And I wonder how you are doing.
Have you been thinking of me
As much as I have been if you?
Or have you found a lover
I’m the time I’ve been away?
If so I can understand
Why you have forgotten me.
I have not forgotten you
Nor do I think I could.
I’ve written you love letters
And one day I’ll mail them too.
I hope that day arrives soon
Because I really miss you
I’ll try to write more later
But for now I have to go
     Just remember I love you
As much today as ever
If not as much even more

Love Always,
                                    Just Alpha
