Dear John, There's so much I want to say to you, but I'm not sure where I should begin. Should I start by telling you that I love you?

Her fingers ran through my sideburns and into my hair before linking around my neck, alive and cool on my warm skin. I was wild and tame and pulled into shreds and crushed into being all at once.
