Several copies of the same letter

Dear Joanna,

You said something tonight that my be quite true
You are a class above what I am ready for
In one sense you are a tart, and I say this good-naturedly
You are also a queen; a queen of sometime, somewhere
And a chameleon
With the ability to alternate between the two
And still possess some traits of the other
You do make me happy, Darling,
And in the depths of my heart, the love and warmth that I feel toward you is unequaled,
As is the guilt that engulfs me in the knowledge that your love and devotion for me is true, and yet
I am unable to reciprocate you devotion, as
It is not a matter of choice.
Will girls never stop maturing faster than boys?
Live long and well

Truly your,

Jay
