Dear, Hephzibah

Dear,
Hephzibah

So many years ago, around 2011, you texted me on Whoshere, and said hi to me. And I acted like a dunce. And you wanted to talk about Machiavelli, I think--I may be imagining this whole thing--and you said he taught manipulation. And I said "No, he was an observer." And you said, "Well, there's just truth, and he was a manipulator." And I was rude to you. I saw the text messages many moons later.

I will say I'm sorry. I hope to find a laconic and beautiful lass like you someday. I truly am sorry. I was a stupid fool, and have been for most of my life. I don't even know if this is real, or a false memory... but I'm so sorry. I wish to ask for your forgiveness.

I really am sorry. I just wish I was a little wiser sooner. Maybe I wouldn't have snubbed you? Or who knows? Maybe it never happened and I am hallucinating a memory? I don't know.

Sincerely,
Brandon
