[Lady Jay]

DURING THE SUMMER OF 1986, I WAS DATING A GUY NAMED MARLON.
I MET HIM ON 167TH STREET MORRIS AVENUE HANGING OUT AT THE PIZZA SHOP LOCATED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM JORDAN L. MOTT JHS 22.

I WONT GO INTO DETAILS AS TO WHY WE DISCONTINUED DATING.
AFTER SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS, HE FOUGHT INTERNALLY TO FORGIVE ME. WE MUTUALLY DECIDED TO REMAIN AMICABLE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER: FRIENDS. WHEN I MET UP WITH AGAIN, HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET BUNS. MY FEELINGS WERE HURT. I STILL LOVED HIM BUT I COULD NOT GIVE IN.

HE WENT DOWN SOUTH ON VACATION THAT SUMMER.
SEVERAL NIGHTS PER WEEK, I RECORDED SONGS CONFESSING MY LOVE HOPING HE WOULD HEAR MY INNER CALL.
I NEVER KNEW HIS LAST NAME. JUST THAT HE LIVED IN RIVER PARK TOWERS, HAD AN OLDER SISTER NAMED STEPHANIE AND A BROTHER NAMED REGGIE. HE STOOD ABOUT 5'5 AT THAT TIME.
HE WAS HERSHEY CHOCOLATE COMPLETED WITH CHINKY EYES
AND WHITE TEETH. HE ATTENDED BOARDING SCHOOL.

ALTHOUGH IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO, FROM TIME TO TIME I STILL THINK OF HIM. SINCE 1986, IT HAS BEEN IMPERATIVE THAT I KNOW ALL DETAILS ABOUT EVERY MAN THAT I DATE EVEN IF WE ARE NOT INTIMATELY INVOLVED.

MARLON, IF BY CHANCE YOU STUMBLE ACROSS THIS THREAD, PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE WAS A COMPLETE MISUNDERSTANDING. THERE IS NO CONCISE JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT TRANSPIRED.
I DID CARE ABOUT YOU AND NEVER INTENDED TO HURT YOU.

REMEMBER HOW PEOPLE WOULD STOP US IN THE STREET JUST TO COMPLIMENT US ON HOW GREAT WE LOOKED TOGETHER?
I'LL REMEBER YOU FOREVER.

SINCERELY
