Man On Fire

He was terribly reckless, and oh so romantic. He was spontaneous and horribly sexy and only slightly sloppy. He was a man on fire, with so much life and love to give. He made so many promises, with so much conviction to keep those promises.

He knew what he wanted, and that was me, for awhile. He'd travel an hour just to see me for five minutes. He'd treat me like a king, even though I was living in near poverty. He'd spend money on me without a second thought, if it meant bringing a smile to my face. My happiness was his, he'd say.

He said he wanted to take care of me, until he realized I couldn't take care of myself. He said there was no one he wanted more than me, and that I was what he'd been waiting for his entire life. Until the real life of living with me was too much reality for him.

He set my heart on fire like no other man. A fire so hot, it was no wonder it burned me so much. A fire much too hot to burn for too terribly long. A fire that ultimately ended us. Burned out tragically too soon. Leaving us in ashes that smothered us completely.

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
