Want to Hear Your Voice
FOUND by Paige in Philadelphia, PA
I found this love letter laying on the sidewalk, face up, staring at me as I walked by. I wish I knew how to get it to it's rightful owner - it probably fell out of someone's door.

It's nice to be so in love you need reminding to breathe.

"Tasty lips"..."anything and then some"..."get my shit together"...This guy has obviously been mugging up on Shakespeare's sonnets.

At first I thought this was written to a pet. If not for the write and call back part, it could be.

"...write if they let you..." ???

Is Princess at summer camp? In prison? On summer break and back at her parents' house? Trapped in a sorority initiation weekend? In the Marine Corps boot camp? Locked down in a re-hab facility?

WHERE in the world in Princess?

Feeling in coherent
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

Librarian, I thought it was Precious. ".. my Precious."
Like Gollum talking to the ring.

fooch
I thought the writer was reminding this person to breathe because they were locked up somewhere.
Rehab is my guess.

I think this was written by a girl to another girl. Don't really know why.

Def rehab. "I will get my shit together" would suggest that the author has a little problem as well. Although kind of sad, it doesn't diminish how sweet the sentiment is.

Jaded in been there, done that
Written by prisoner to girl with low self-esteem, buttering her up for him to take advantange of her in oh so many ways. Hope she tossed this or never saw it.

(magnify) Flip side reads -

I want to see you not incarcerated. I want to see you make bail. I want to see you come home and then not call me. I want to see you not care about me. I want to see you hear you get a call from you to tell me to stop callng. I want you to tell me I need a breath mint. I want be there when you casually discard this note on the front steps. I want to be there when your memory of me fades in to laughter.

It starts out ok, but somewhere in the middle it turns kinda creepy and stalkerish, right about where it says that "already you are in my dreams". I get the vibe that they haven't known each other long, and now he's (she's?) dreaming about the intended recipient?

For me that would be time to run, run far, far away, and never look back becuase he'll (she'll) be breathing down your neck.

I think it's a lust letter, not a love letter. Still, enexellent Find. Thanks, Paige.

I also think this is from a prisoner to a girl 'on the outside' whose parents may not (I hope!) allow her to write.

I think it's the "Call and I'll write" line.

It's weird how the handwriting changes at the end...

"Breath" is obviously this person's pet name. "Remember to [call or write], Breath, and write if they let you! Try stretching exercises, Breath!"

Three different people's handwriting? WTF??

Umm, about "call and I'll write"...

Prisoners can call you when they are allowed phone time. You cannot call a prisoner. Therefore, the letter must be to an inmate. So, it sounds like Princess got locked up for something short-term, and this dude was wanting to make her feel better about it by saying he'd be awaiting her eventual release.

Nice job with the sexism on assuming the "inmate" was male, though.

@terrie-is-so-very i totally agree. there's just something about the wording that seems very feminine.

maybe her princess is at some horrible gay-be-gone camp like in 'but i'm a cheerleader!' hopefully the ending will be as happy as that movie's ending.
