Dear Georgia,

Working side by side with you is turning out to be the greatest joy and keenest torment of my life. You don’t mean anything by the little touches you bestow on me each day, I’m well aware. And yet, I feel them like a flame on my skin. Your hand on mine when you take charge of my laptop. Your shoulder nudging me to drive home a joke. Your fingers ruffling through my hair.

That last one almost kills me every time.

Today, you told me about the hero in a romance book you’re reading. It’s messed up to be jealous of an imaginary person, but I’d like to punch him in the face all the same.

I would be that man for you if you’d let me. I would support you and protect you, encourage you and be entirely dedicated to you. I would cherish you, Georgia.

I would never be able to kill a man, no matter how villainous or deserving, so in that respect I suppose I can never match up to him. All hope is lost.

Still. I hope anyway. I hope one day you’ll see how much I’ve cared for you all along. If you never do, I still hope for the deepest, most genuine love to find you, whoever that might be with.

This one’s definitely going on the burn pile.

I love you, Georgia.

Yours always,

Miles
