Florida State Prison, March 2011
Dear Ava,
Did you think that I would be able to coolly sit back and let you bow out of our relationship? You can’t get rid of me that easily. Naturally I read your letter, but I’m not going to take any notice of it because you’re talking utter rubbish.
You made one mistake Ava please don’t torment me again with words that you think fit the bill. When you told me what you’d done I reacted badly and I foolishly acted on impulse. I want you to keep writing no matter how many mistakes you make, no matter how many times you make me think of the bad things in life. Not talking about them doesn’t mean that they aren’t there does it? I over reacted so it’s me that should have his tale between his legs.
Can’t you see that you would be punishing me all over again
