This letter is from the first boy I ever kissed. It was the summer before the 8th grade.
Dear Delilah,
How is it going? Not much is up! YOu were in Tenn. last year about the same time weren't you! You'll just have to guess who I knew that.
I'm glad you believe me! Well, the reason I said it was P., was when I ask him why you called me those names that's why! By the way who is Sherry, Missi, Trisha and Gary? I don't know any of them! I swear it!! I did write Delilah is a bi___! But that is all. And I wrote that before I knew all this stuff! I'm sorry! Do you forgive me! That's all I wrote! I didn't write all those other things.
I don't really have a new girlfriend! I still like Misti, but she never wrote me a letter, so I guess she doesn't like me! Oh Well! I'm used to it! Rejection that is!
By the way while I'm on the subject. When was I supposed to have said that stuff?
My favorite Beastie Boys songs are Slow & Low, Brass Monkey, Paul Revere, and Girls Girls Girls! Other favorite are Shake Down, Wipe Out, Rock Steady, Leon & Me, and It's tricky. My favorite new group is the Beastie Boys, Run DMC & The Fat Boys & Beach Boys together.
Yea, I guess I should've been there for the 4th, but I didn't have any way to get there. Sorry!
I forgot what happened the 23rd of May! Well, Paul never told me anything about not liking me! But I believe you! The alcohol must have affected his brain. I didn't start chewing, I just did it once at the lake that's all! I don't even know why I go to the Lake. Everytime I go someone says something I was supposed to say. Well, that's going to change! I'm really sick of it. I'll just be glad when I get away from it. Try to be nice and everyone steps on you! So I'm not going to be nice anymore! I'm sorry you had to see this in me, but that's what it has come down to! I'm tired of getting sh** on! (Sorry but theres no other word for it).
You lead a confusing life! But I understand it! Don't ask me how I just do!
Let me ask you one thing! Do I have any friends left at the Lake? Because after hearing all this I doubt! I don't believe all this! I haven't done anything!
I suppose you still think I'm a wimp! Don't you! Well if you do let me tell you a few things! I'm about 6 foot, 150 pounds! Not an ounce of fat! My arms are only 14 1/2 inches not very big, but extremely quick! My thights are 26 inches. I bench 170 not as much as I want, but I can squat 300, I've never worked out very much! My chest is 37 in., my waist in 31! Still think I'm a wimp! If you wanted to know that there it is, if not I am sorry! I've also heard you are very pretty! I heard that from a very reliable source! May I have a recent picture of you please? Well, better go!
P.S.
One more song
"Bad to the Bone"
P.S. #2 I told you I'm a Lover not a Fighter!
Bye Bye

DELILAH
Your Birthday draws
ever so near
with it
the passing
of another year
you are as
a fine wine
only getting better
with the passing
of time
I can see
angels,
in your eyes
roses,
in your soul
and a heart
that will forever
glow
may peace be
in you heart
upon this day
I wish to you
the very best
of birthdays (5-29)
D.G (different than the previous D.G.)

Sorry, I can't spell your name!
Hey! How's life? Great here. So I heard you and Matt broke-up. This might sound crazy coming from me but that's too bad! I thought you two really liked each other. And in case you're wondering, yes, I said you were hot. I'm sorry but it's the truth. Matt was very lucky to have been going out with you. I'd die for the chance! Well, I just wrote to say hi, I'll see you around.

Delilah,
I've learned it's still not right. All the time at least. And the Paths we take aren't always the greenest of our beliefs. I've stayed too long. I'm past the last and light from darkened moons are simply lights. I recongnize and close my eyes and spin my 67. And when Booty's done and the sit is sung I take the road to find the truth. I've taught myself about image, and learning to survive, But what you want is what I want and that keeps me alive. Reality's inside of me and we can't live in dreams but we can find a way...

D-
You are indeed as busy as I! I must admit I haven't phoned (until recently) for quite a while- and when I have, you're not in. So, I've resorted to a medium which I don't use very often - a letter...
Yes, things are cool on this end. I've gotten a promotion. I'm a supervisor now, and more importantly I make $16 per hour. I've also started taking classes again. I must be some kind of crazy person. It's going to be soooooo difficult.
I'm getting a new car!! I am so excited than this pen can expess. Its a .... a real beauty! I'm supposed to get it on 3-15-96. So, when I take you out on a date we can ride in style. You hadn't forgotten about that had you? Well, I haven't forgotten, and I'm holding you to it.
Well is there a man in your life? (Men for that matter). I'm sure you're still playing the part of the sexy socialite - you always did have a way of bringing people out of their shell. In fact, I think that your openess and congeniality are the quatlities I most love and respect about you.
I would just love to have you for dinner some weekend (get your mind out of the gutter). Seriously, I am quite the chef - perfect for a first date. Well, hopefully I'll see you soon.
Love,
D.G.

Delilah-
Hey. How are you? How's Kent? Hey- I heard your school shut down for like 2 days? Is the T. situation going alright now? She was pretty upset last week. She said she wasn't going to Kent now and that you didn't even like her and everyone has seen you since you left, etc... So- is everything OK now?? Oh yeah- she also said she was a burden or a pest to you.
So- what's new? How's D.L. (see previous posts)? Is he your new man? He seemed pretty nice. You guys should come here and the 4 of us should go out and see a movie or something.
Things are going really good with D. Except last week or so L. went C. a package and D. freaked out. He doesn't want me keeping in contact with L. but I told him that if L. wants to call or write C. then he can. I'm not doing anything to make him call and stuff. I mean, I didn't even send him a father's day card because I don't think he deserves any of my efforts. But if on his own he decided to write, call, or send her stuff, then I think it's fine. D. says I should shut L. out because he doesn't send any money or hasn't been there for us. But I can't make that decision. That's up to her, right? I don't want C. coming to me in ten years and saying, "Why didn't my daddy love me enough to stay in contact with me?" Then I say, "Oh- he wanted to be in your life but I wouldn't let him." She would resent me forever and always wonder about him. Right? Anyhow, How's 9203? You guys really busy yet? We were so busy yesterday (catalog). It was like Christmastime already. We had huge holes all over the store. So- when are you coming here so we can go outto the flats? It better be soon. It's getting too cold outside!!
A few days ago I went Cosmic bowling with a bunch of people from work. It was fun. They had black lights everywhere and lasers on the walls. It was fun. Well- I guess I'm gonna stop writing now. Write me back soon and come home soon so we can go out. This timewhen you come home don't just call D. & G. - call me!!!!)
Bye! See ya-
M.

1984ish??? 7th grade
This letter is sooo old. This boy was related to my neighbors and he sent it via Bobby. Too funny.
