Start: O.K. Here goes. The reason I’m writing Angie Atkinson is because I just don’t think I can stop writing letters, particularly to girls.

[... ... ...]

No, this is just me, me the way I write, the way my writing is, the way I want to be to you, giving myself to you across a distance, not keeping or retaining any part of it for myself, giving this piece of myself to you totally, and you can tear me up and throw me out, or keep me, and read me today, tomorrow, anytime you want until you die.
