A Love Letter to McEachern

This is a satire. McEachern is the high school that I went to.

 

Dear McEachern,

 

So I’ve been thinking about us a lot lately.

 

So, I know we decided to take a break for a week or so and I’m glad we decided to get back together. I thought taking a break would fix the problems, but it didn’t. I guess we need to talk this out…I mean sure, I’ve had my doubts and I questioned us and I’m not gonna lie, at first, I didn’t want to get back together, but it’s a good thing. We’ve been together for a little over 3 years now, and mostly, I’ve loved every minute of it. I love being with you and hanging with our friends. I love spending spring with you, even if you do smell funny, and I love you keeping me warm in the winter. I love how we both need our Starbucks in the morning if we are going to function. We’ve had so many memories at football games and orchestra events. All the late night runs with the team were great. I’ve enjoyed being with you, the good times are amazing. I was skeptical at first when we started dating-everyone told me how horrible you could be, but I didn’t listen, you were amazing. They told me it was going to get rocky later, but in my eyes, you were everything. You helped me along, showed me the ropes, introduced me to my best friends and opened doors for me. I didn’t even know you were there, you were the perfect gentleman. I loved you by every meaning of the word, but McEachern, you’ve changed, and it makes me sad. We used to laugh and smile together, and play pranks with our friends…but not anymore. You’ve been so serious lately…and I miss the old you. I miss getting to school early and hanging with everyone. Now it seems that all I can do, is you. You are so restricting nowadays—I’m so busy with you. I never have time for my other friends. Don’t get me wrong, I love you, I really do, it’s just that I wish you would ease up some. There’s no need to be so overprotective. I mean, you are keeping me from everything. My friends are getting irritated with me, because they never have time with me anymore. And the only time they do see me, I’m with you. And even when I’m not with you, I’m thinking about you and worrying about you. You are always on my mind. I can’t keep this up, it’s stressing me out! You’re hurting me. It seems like every night I am crying because of you. I love you and I hope you think about what I said.

           

            I want to make this work, I love you.

I liked this piece. I liked it a lot. It drew me in, and makes me wonder even when it's done about his reaction. I didn't see any misspellings or grammatical errors. I love being able to picture the relationship with out any background information on them before hand. Great writing. Kudos to you. =]

' You're hurting me. '

That sent shivers down my spine. I love it.
