Speaking from the shadows: unsent letter 1

This is a letter that won’t be sent to my girlfriend, due to the content that is… not very suitable and might be detrimental to the relationship.  I shall name her “Maggie.”

Maggie--

How’s it been?  I’m writing as I told you after chatting on the IM earlier.  Nothing quite like a letter written from the motivation.

I’m not sure of what I’m doing right now.  What… are we doing, exactly? Are we serious about this and that, or is this but a fleeting love, just in a phase?  We are getting along nicely right now, but both of us know that the status quo will not last, and we must decide, once and for all, what we will do with our lives.

Of course, we won’t decide that right now; at least I don’t think so, as I believe neither of us is really qualified to do so right now.  Coming stateside for graduate school is fine.  Relationship is fine. My family also seems reasonably happy that I have a legitimate girlfriend (they even told me to bring you over sometime).  But, at the same time, you tried to look for a job in the  country; I am sure that it means you do not want to leave where you have lived the whole life.  Seeing as I do not want to leave America as well (I would rather take my gamble of life here than there), there is obviously a conflict of interest… do you know where I am going with this?

I am tired, so I will end things for now.  Love you.

Tom
