The Lost Art of Letter Writing: Daisy -> Gatsby

Dearest Jay,
     I know that when I was younger, I had many dates and was in many relationships, however the one we had was different than all the others. I will never forget the heart beat that danced around in my chest that one October afternoon. As we sat in my white roadster, I felt deep inside of me that you were the one. My feelings were like clay; molded into something that became solid over time. Although war came between us five long years ago, I can not hide the fact that your presence was noted everyday in my thoughts. Sometimes, at night, I wonder what my life would be like if I would have married you and not Tom.
     I lay awake some nights finding myself disgusted with the man I call my husband, the father of my child. The night before my wedding was the roughest of them all.The letter you wrote me only solidified my desire to be called your wife, but as the letter, the last physical memory I had left of you disintegrated, so did my hope. I needed to move on, Jay; I did not want to, but I had to. With that thought in mind, I made the biggest mistake of my life in marrying Tom. I wish you were my husband, Jay, I wish I could spend the rest of my life with you, but it is not that easy. I love you so much, and I always have. I hope and pray every night that we will once again be able to be together, as our love has been rekindled recently. I admire you and your home and your way of life. Hopefully we can share our ways of life one day.
                           Love always and forever, Daisy <3
