I wanted Tess to be somewhat neurotic just to test this man’s level of commitment. I have to give him some “snaps” because he put up with a LOT!!
When I listened to his voicemail, I could tell he's not a native American. I think he might have figured that I was his perfect mate. Who knows.
Anyway, it was fun.

Hi Dear,
I saw your write up on a guestbook, can we be friends?
My Name is Loren Paige; Im a US Citizen and a Single Dad.
I lost my wife during child delivery 18 years ago, since then Ive been single.
More so Im an Art cum Artifact collector without jurisdiction to my collection.
Love has just been a dream to me, but I still believe that love could be sweet at old age do you think so too?
Your expression and profile was some worth attractive in a website I jumped into last night and I cant wait to have a feel of your world, the original you because Im a realist to the core.
Can we get talking and to a very large extent get closer till we see a beautiful tomorrow?
Truly I cant wait to enjoy my age with true love if it ever comes my way and if you will let nature do her job?
We can do a lot together and that is the essence of life.
Respectfully
Loren Paige
CEO Paige Galleries.

Dearest Loren,
I cannot tell you how happy your message has made me! It has brightened my day more than a thousand Sun's.
You poor man. I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your wife. It must have been tragic for you. Oh, how you must have suffered all of these years! I cannot imagine the strength you must have to continue to go on living for so long...alone. The very thought makes me cry for you.
In the short time it has taken me to read your beautiful message, I can already sense that we have a LOT in common. You're a US citizen, and I'm a US citizen. You're single, and I'm single. You're an art collector, and I like art. I especially love black velvet paintings of Elvis Presley. I’m sure you’re a fan too.
I've been looking for my "soulmate" for so long, I had just about given up. It must be fate that has brought us together.
Please write back to me and tell me more about how happy you and I can be.
I will count every minute until your next message!
Love,
Tess

Subject: For Tess Steckle from Loren
Tess Steckle,
Hearing from you alone has quenched my taste, you sound like the post of hope that I desire. should I go ahead to call the mystery that brought us together a Devin arrangement?
I am 45 and with a daughter I inherited from my marriage who will be 18 next month. I lost my wife to death some years back; thereafter I assumed celibacy for the sake of my surviving daughter who should be given the best for her growth.
Like I said earlier in my letter, that I’m an Art & Artifact Collector without restrictions; I deal on all kinds of Arts and Artifacts from all over the world. love black velvet paintings of Elvis Presley also
My Childhood was beautiful because I was the only child of a Rich father who makes sure that I and my late mother had all that life has. He was killed by his best and envious friend because of his possessions.
I love Arts; I use my collections to express my feelings, troubles and anticipation. Though my aim is to open a construction company of my own, that was my father’s dream for me before he died and I don’t want to let it die.
My Daughter is a very interesting child and like her father she does a lot of paintings and keeps a Cat and a Dog.
I live in Washington; I think we would get to know each other better if feelings permit.
Let me hear from you and your likes and dislikes.
Hope to here from you soon.
Loren Paige

Tess Steckle,
Mere reading your email brings me to a conclusive chemistry that we are meant for each other.
I can’t hold thinking about you since your reply, every part of me has been anxious of your presence. Soul mates I think, soul mate is the best description of what my heart feels now.
I wish to know you more and a conviction that you are my wife and the Mother of my daughter because she wants to feel the test of motherhood which her birth deprived her.
I’ve searched for love but it’s really rear to come bye.
I’m the best man for you if we get selfless with each other; I’m very free at heart.
Caring and Sharing is my first doctrine of true love.
I’ve made up my mind that is you if you are ready for me.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Dearest Lauren,
Oh how my heart has swelled reading your lovely message! I am engorged thinking of how you also believe we are soul mates!!! I have dreamed many dreams that a man such as yourself would find me and sweep me off of my feet and carry me through the threshold of love and marriage. That I would, one day, be able to look someone in the eye and say "Yes, you are my man. I am your woman. We are married and together and one and in love and happy and rapturous."
I'm also overjoyed that you love black velvet paintings of Elvis too! I have 23 paintings in my personal collection. My favorite one is where Elvis is sitting on a horse drinking a beer out of a Viking helmet. If you like I can send it to you to add to your collection!
Please tell me more about your daughter...our daughter. I hope that she'll allow me to hold her close to my bosom so that she can hear my heart beat for her. That she'll allow me to teach her things that her mother was unable to teach her. I want so desperately to teach her how to cook. How to sew. How to create paper mache masks of European leaders. All of the things my mother taught me.
As I write this, I am crying. I’m crying for our future. I’m crying for our happiness. The very thought of finally finding someone to share the rest of my life makes me float enthusiastically on the sea of enchanted, joyous love. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms and affectionately nibble on your eyebrows.
Lauren. I LOVE YOU!!!
With all of my heart and arteries,
Tess

This is an experience I must share heart and soul. It keeps me speechless knowing that you are actually existing somewhere for me. Your words are the exact word of angels.
Mere imagination of your kind of natural beauty kept me awake all last night, I smiled at every feature gaze of your amazing nature; it caught me acting like yester year’s youth.
Are you for real?
Can I boldly tell my Daughter who has been kin to have a mother, that I have found myself a Wife and for her a mother?
I want you to ride a while in my world of thought and imaging my mood now that I drop you this Draft; I see tomorrow in my dream world where I call you my Queen, you call me your King and my daughter calls you Mum!
Please Come and crown me up!!!!!
Can we chat on yahoo messenger IM? Here is my ID you can add me; lpaige1278

Oh Lorin!!!
Your love keeps lifting me higher!!! You know, once I was downhearted and disappointment was my closest friend. But then you came into my life. I’m so glad I finally found you! I WISH my loving arms around you.
Honey, I can stand up and face the world!!!
I’m blushing about how you have been picturing my natural beauty at night. I was thinking about you too. I can picture your rugged 45 year old muscles and short-cropped hair. I picture you as a handsome David Caruso! My heart is beating faster as I think about you as I type on my keyboard right now. Oooooh! I’m also blushing when you called me your queen! You can count on me crowning you up!!! Ha ha
Please tell your daughter that you have found your “soul mate”, your wife, and your best friend! Please tell her that I will be there for her when she has her first kiss, her first car, her first husband, and her first house.
Bless you baby, I LOVE you so! Love from whom all blessings flow. Me to you and you to me – this is how it’s going to be. Every time I think about it, I just want to lift my heart and sing!!!! I honestly believe that every man should have a good woman (that’s me), and every woman should have a good man (that’s you). Won’t you stand along beside me and let me do the best I can?
I want us to take each other’s heart in hand and sing to God!!!
I LOVE YOU Lorin!!!

My Love Tess,
Do you know that my daughter has been following you letters, I most confess that she read your last email and busted into tears. She said that you are so open hearted with all word futures she anticipate in a Mum and that you really torch something in her. I feel greater than she does imagining the mystery that brought us this close.
We went to church this early to pray and seek Gods face in this Union, you that is for better for worst?
I must confess that we barely met but I'm in love already your enchantment has overwhelmed me like the snow engulfs the hills in the winter.
Tell me more about you; your age, occupation, faith, interest, location and your plans for us?
Send me your picture now?
Wake up and reply me my dear because I’m awake with my Daughter praying that you are as real as you sound on the email.
I pledge all my love

My Dearest Login,
I'm so deeply touched that your daughter has already accepted me as her new mother. I see a light in the sky. Oh, it's almost blinding me...I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love. Please tell her that she means as much to me as I mean to her and as much as I mean to you.
I LOVED how you said that my enchantment overwhelms you like the snow engulfs the hills in winter. I feel the same way about you. My feelings for you flood me like a basement in Kentucky after a really big rainstorm. My heart is racing right now like Jeff Gordon's car in the UAW-Ford 500 at Talladega just thinking about you.
I Love You!!!
You asked me to tell you more about myself. That is the first time any man has asked me that! That is how I know you are the one for me! My love for you is hot and squishy like a Krispy Kreme donut right out of the machine (when they give you a free one while you stand in line).
I consider myself a very handsome woman of 42 years. I drive an ice cream truck for Mr. Softee's Mega Ice Cream Delivery Fleet. I am a God-fearing woman who goes to church 4 times a week (I also sing in the choir - I have the voice of an angel). I Love You!!! I grew up in Kentucky, but moved to the Seattle Washington area about 10 years ago. You already know that my hobby is collecting black velvet paintings of Elvis. I believe every house should have at least one painting just to brighten the decor and give it some class.
I Love You!!!
As for our future plans...I cannot believe you have to ask. I have told you how much I love you. I've told you that I will be the mother for your daughter that she has never had. I want us to be together...forever! I want to be the person who gives you a sponge-bath when you are old and feeble and can no longer stand up without a walker with cut tennis balls on the bottom of the legs. When we are old and gray, I want us to swap our false teeth and see if we can eat corn on the cob with them.
You are MY LOVE!!!
I'm awake now. Your prayers have been answered! Your love for me is like Folger's coffee at 5:32am on a rainy day! It wakes me and makes me feel refreshed and alive!!
Please write to me soon!
Your Lovely Tess

I do consider myself beautiful, but if you simply want to foster an online relationship simply to talk about sex, well you can count me out!
I sympathize with you, but I cannot imagine a strong, handsome man who looks like David Caruso has been celibate for 18 years!
If you are trying to get me to use Yahoo Messenger to have freaky sex chat, then I consider our pending marriage over!

Dear Login,
Thank you so much for your apology. That fact that you took the time to apologize shows me how sensitive and wonderful you are.
I understand how my beauty must have driven you wild and you lost your mind. That happens. You’re not the first man to go wild with passion when he’s had a taste of my gorgeousness. To be honest, I’m flattered. I just want to save the sweet “naughtiness” for our honeymoon.
I have very durable feelings for you too. I still love you more than all of the green M&M’s produced by M&M/Mars in 1973!
Have a wonderful day in Colorado with your daughter.
With Love,
Tess

Dearest Login,
I've been keeping a secret from you. I'm not proud of myself for doing so, but I didn't want to scare you away.
About 3 weeks ago I was in a pretty serious car accident. In the impact, my jaw was broken. Right now, my jaw has 3 screws and enough metal to make an antenna for a short-wave radio. Basically, I cannot speak.
I was afraid to tell you because if you saw my face right now, you might consider me deformed and run away.
I know I should have told you, but you must understand that I truly want us to be together. I want us to be together like peanut butter and jelly. Like chocolate and milk. Like skin rashes and landscapers. Your love means everything to me, and I hope that you will not leave me now that you know my situation.
The doctors have told me that I will have the wiring removed in 9 weeks and then I'll have another 4 weeks of physical therapy. During that time, I will have to learn to speak again. They've also assured me that I will not be permantently deformed or anything.
I would still LOVE to hear your voice. Please call me at 206-338-0283.
I can't wait to hear you sexy David Caruso voice.
Tess

Subject: Thank you for the message...
Dearest Lorgin,
I cannot tell you how touched I am hearing your sweet sweet voice. When you told me that you “love” me made my jaw clench. Of course since it’s broken, I was in a considerable amount of pain and had to take a pain reliever. But, it was still wonderful to hear from you.
I cannot wait until the doctor removes the wire that is holding my jaw together and I can go through my physical therapy so that I can talk to you and you can hear my beautiful voice. When you hear my angelic voice, you may be lost in the blissful desire of love and beauty (it’s happened before) and find yourself floating on the wings of heavenly desire. When we finally meet face-to-face (and I can eat solid foods again), we’ll have to go out to dinner and just talk and talk and talk.
I’m afraid for your mental state when that happens because when you see my natural beauty and hear my beautiful voice when I’m wearing one of my beautiful dresses you may just lose your mind. You see, when I look in the mirror and see myself with my hair in a ponytail and my make-up is just right, I believe I am more stunning than Pamela Anderson when she played Barb Wire in 1996.
I want you to understand that I “love” you. I “know” that we will be together forever. You have repeatedly expressed your love and desire for me too. But, I want to be sure. The only way that I can truly be sure that you “love” me is by proposing to me.
I would LOVE for you to formally propose to me in an e-mail message. Would you do that for me? Would you formally propose to me? Please make it one of your lovely messages full of love and longing.
I wait for your melodic, sweet-tempered message my love.

Dear Latrine,
What do you mean “get well soon”? I’m not sick. Did you think I caught the “Swing Flu”? If so, I haven’t. I do have a slight pain in my lower back, but other than that, I’m fine. Now that you mention it, I’ve had a little scratch in my throat which makes me cough a little, but other than that I’m feeling great.
I would LOVE to be married on November 23rd. I’ve always dreamed of getting married on that day. It just has a wonderful ring to it – don’t you agree? But, I don’t want to “jump the gun”. I need a formal proposal from you. I need to read those beautiful words typed by your fingers.
I would love to go to London with you, but I’m busy that weekend. Wait as second, when are you going to London? What airline are you going to use? Where will you stay? How long will you be gone? What brand of luggage do you use?
I’ll be waiting for you here inside my heart. I’m the one who wants to love you more. You will see I can give you everything you need. Let me be the one to love you more.
Love always,
Tess

I can’t help but notice that you haven’t written me any of your beautiful, love-filled messages since I told you about my accident. I don’t want to sound like a jealous woman, but are you seeing someone else?
If you are, I think my heart might just break into a thousand pieces and I will die from blood loss! In the short time that we have been communicating I have grown very close to you. I trust you with my heart and my body and my mind. If you were to tell me that you have found another woman I’m not sure what would happen. All I do know is that it would be bad.

Dear Lorin,
Follow you!?! What do you mean follow you? I am an independent woman and I don’t follow anyone!
I was under the impression that we were going to fly to London together…as a couple…in love…happily…joyfully! Now that I think about it, you haven’t even told me when we were supposed to go. I don’t know the date. I don’t know the airline. I don’t know where we are staying. I don’t know the type of luggage you use.
All of these things are important!
Now, I love you. You know that. But, now I’m beginning to think you are seeing another woman. If that’s true, I’m afraid that I might just pass-out and hit my head on something hard. This would give me a concussion and I could die. That would make me very upset.
Please get me the details for our trip. Please reassure me that you are not having an e-affair. Please give my heart some much-needed rest so that it can beat again only for you and your David Caruso good looks.
With love and helium balloons,

You have no idea how happy your message has made me!! I feel like I am floating with the clouds (not the Cumulonimbus clouds because they are very dangerous). My heart is flying like a bird who is in love with another bird who is also flying with her in the sky above the ground.
I was contacted by my doctor today and he wants me to come to his “special” jaw office in Boston to really look at my jaw with a special new set of special devices called the Jaw Optical Khamsin Equipment. I guess it’s pretty special stuff and should tell him everything about my jaw.
I will be gone for the entire week and won’t be able to get any messages until the 20th of July.
I will miss you more than chocolate mousse in fine china, but I must think of my health.
Please don’t forget me while I’m gone.

I’ve returned early from my serious examination and I’m happy to report that my jaw is healing quite nicely. Dr. Mandible said that I only have 9 more weeks of healing before I will begin going to physical therapy! I’m very excited.
Please tell me what has been happening with you and our daughter.
I can’t wait to hear from you my LOVE!!!
Love,
Tess

Subject: I LOVE YOU
Dearest Tessy,
What a wonderful beginning to a new day! It began like a dream -- me finding you, sending you email, confessing my love, and then it happens all over again. The feelings that I’ve felt for you all along begin to resurface. Only this time, I am free to act on them without fear of upsetting anyone.
Thank you, Tessy. What more can a man say to the woman who opened her heart to him, allowing him to feel the warmth of her love across the great distance that separates them? You truly have no idea what I feel for you..
I try to put this feeling into words, but fail miserably. This feeling of being both scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a sense of calm, is a feeling that I have only dreamed about. As the days continue to pass, my love for you continues to grow. I never thought I had the capacity to love anybody as much as I love you right now. Yet, my love for you continues to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence.
I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel. No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you". Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death. I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death of such a truly loving husband. That is the love that I feel for you.
I love you forever and wish you quick recuperation,
Forever yours,
Loren

Deary Loren,
Your message has filled my heart with helium. It's floating in the sky like a little, purple balloon of love (of course it beats with a high-pitched thump, but that's from the helium)!!
I too, feel that my expression of love using mere words fails to show you the true depth of my lovingfulness. If my love were a country, it would be China because they have so many people. If my love were a bank account, it would belong to Bill Gates!!
You are the incandescent bulb to my lamp. You are the hot water hose to my washing machine. Without you, I am nothing but worthless furniture and appliances.
Please, please, please, never leave me!!
I Love You,
Tess

Loren,
Is this the trip to London that I was supposed to go too?!? If so, how could you leave without me?
It’s that other woman isn’t it!??! Uh Oh!!! Did you hear that?!? That was my heart breaking!! Ouch…ugh…oy... Yup, that’s my heart breaking all right!
How could you do this to me?!? How could you go to London without me? How could you go with that other woman!?! Now, I’m going to be left here with a broken jaw and a broken heart!
I’m deeply vexed,

Subject: RE: YOU AND ONLY
Dear Lorin,
Thank you for your heartfilled message. But, you said that WE were going to go to London together and now you are telling me that you have people on your neck. Are you in trouble? Are you dealing with bad people? I cannot be involved with someone who has BAD people trying to sit on his neck and other body parts. I am afraid for your safety now.
Should I call the police?!?
I'm so upset right now. I'm afraid for your safety, but I'm also afraid that I've fallen in love with someone who has ties with the mafia or something else equally bad. Now, the stress is causing my jaw to hurt and my eyes are tearing up.
I have to take some liquid aspirin...wait a second...ok...stupid cap...oh...there it goes...yuck...uhm...ouch...ugh...
Now, my jaw hurts, my eyes are tearing up, and the liquid aspirin DOES NOT taste like bubblegum!!! Yuck!
I'm sorry Loren, but I'm not sure this love affair is going to work out. First, you start seeing other women after you tell me you love me. Then, you tell me we're going to go on a trip together, but you leave without me. Now, your getting mixed up with the mafia.
My heart can only take so much stress.
I still love you Lorin. I suppose I always will. But, what else can I do? Please help me.
Love
Tess

my love,
It's obvious you misunderstood my statement regarding my clients being on my neck.I dont patronise BAD people neither am into business invoving the mafians coming after me.It simply means that my clients are anxious,they needed the goods very quickly for their own business.The clients are my very good clients that pay me without delays whenever am back from my trip.They couldn't wait any longer for me promising to travel very soon just because i wanted you to get well fast so we can travel together.My heart,you know the kind of business i do is highly competitive and for you to succeed,you need a competitive accumen.I dont want to loose my clients to other collectors.i have to satisfy their belief and trust for my products.
Hunnie,i love you so much and i can never leave you for another woman.You should know that MUTUAL TRUST,CARE AND LOVE are all that are needed for a successful relationship.There's no magic wand involve.Sweetie,believe me,my heart can never accomodate any other woman because i love you.You are the reason for my existence, i promise never to betray your trust and love for me no matter where i found myself.Darling,i need you to be strong for me and stop hurting yourself by crying.
Finally,am in the UK and i promise to return in less than three weeks.I would have love to have you here with me but am not here for pleasure strictly for business my love.I will be home even before your therapy is over.You are the woman of my dream and you will remain so close to my heart even though am far away.Just be there for me and i will never disappoint your LOVE for me even in the face of death.
I love you and will always love you.
Forever yours,
Kelvin___________________________
Author note: I was really thinking about stopping my charade with this guy. After so long communicating with him, I began to wonder if he really did love Tess. But, if you notice his last message, he signed it Kelvin. Well, that’s when I realized he’s playing with women and I decided he needed some “hammer time”!
Time to break out the "CRAZY"!!!

Loren,
I just received your message and it has lifted me higher than a dirigible! I'm soaring with the eagles right now. It is such a relief knowing that you are not “patronizing” bad people. When I stop to think about what they would do to me if you were to upset them...it just makes me shiver all over.
I was so scared yesterday. I had all of the locks changed on my apartment because I didn't want some sweaty, muscled, tattooed man breaking in and trying to hurt me because you were dealing in black market antiquities. I couldn't sleep all night long! Every bump or creak made me scream. I called 911 four times. I was hysterical!!!
What I still don't understand is why you think that I couldn't go to London with you. I can travel with my broken jaw. I told you how I traveled to Boston to see my jaw doctor, Dr. Mandible. Is it because you think I'm ugly with the metal jaw support harness? If that is the reason, then I'm afraid that our engagement is off! You have to love ALL of me. You have to love me from the top of my head to the crusty bottoms of my feet. That includes my guts too you know!?!
I just feel like there's 4,799 miles (7,723 km) separating us right now. I feel there's so much to say, but no words to convey. The loneliness building with each passing day. But, I'm getting used to it. I have to get used to it. But, I get carried away with every day and every fantasy. The deeper the wound, the harder I swoon and with that that was me.
Is there any way you could come back sooner? I have to know that you're back on American soil. That your back on American soil for me. For me and our daughter. Please tell me that you'll quit selling black market antiquities and return to America and together we can sell honest antiques together.
I love you so much Kelvin!
Tess

Dearest Tessy,
I wish I didn't have to miss you. If only you could be with me always. I know I could never be any sad. But then again, I know that the day will come when I will be able to spend my every walking moment with you. I even miss you when I am sleeping!
I love you, babe. You are my first and my only love, and I thank you for being so kind with my heart. Hopefully, soon I won't have to hate missing you.
Still expecting your call.....i love you
Love Always,

Subject: I'm sorry...but I have to tell you...the following...
Loren,
Where is this going? Where are we going? You call yourself my husband, yet I feel more distant from you than when we first met.
Your daughter needs a mother, yet I have never seen her. I wouldn’t know her if I hit her with my car. I wouldn’t know you if I hit you with my car. I wouldn’t know your dead wife if I hit her with my car (of course that would be pretty creepy because she would have to be a zombie or something). But, I think you see what I mean.
You invite me to go on trips, but never take me. Instead, you go on the trips by yourself meeting “customers” dealing with old things. I don’t even know where you’re staying in London. I don’t know if you have a rental car. I don’t know what airline you used. I don’t know if you had a “carry-on” bag, or if you checked everything. I don’t know if you wear the right colored socks with your trousers and stuff. You might be a habitual criminal for the fashion police, but I would never know.
Do you brush your teeth with your left or right hand? Do you wear glasses or contact lenses? What’s your prescription? Do you have any prosthetic limbs? Were you ever mauled by a wildebeest? Do you have any scars? If so, what caused them? Do you like dogs, cats, iguanas, leopard geckos, or Chinese Water Dragons?
I just feel that we are drifting apart. I find myself looking in the mirror saying “Tess, you deserve more!”, and I’m right! I need someone to hold me tight and say “Tess, you are the reason I convert oxygen to carbon dioxide.” “You make it possible to convert basic food into energy to sustain my body to love you another day.” “If Love were people, my heart would be China.”.
I have a special place in my heart for you Kelvin. It’s on the left side, lower quadrant, between the atrium and ventricle, right below the coronary artery. I suppose you will always be in my heart, but I guess I’ll never know for sure because doctors are afraid to look there too hard.
I hope your sale was worth my heart.
Tess

My love,
you sound as if am not going to be home,all i need from you now aren't all those things.i need you to be my guardian angel,a loving wife,a pillar of which i lean on.Lets stop all these arguements,i dont think we need them now and concentrate on how to make our relationship perfect.We have dwelt too much on this same issue.I think is high time we went forward and make this our 'made in heaven' marriage worthwhile.
Yes my daughter needs you as a loving mother and i want to be your husband.I love you will all my heart and there's nothing anybody can say about it.All those questions you asked would be answered the moment you set your eyes on me and my daughter.My dear,you worth more than everything on this earth to me.You are my jewel of inestimable value,the treasure that i seek,a precious and a priceless Diamond.What else can i say of
a
woman i have dreamth of being my wife and now am face with the reality of having her by my side always.
Though we might be far away from each other but never far from your heart.As i said earlier,even if we are miles away hence the communication is there that wont be a problem.The world today is a global village where distance is never a barrier to those that know what they seek.Darling,we are meant to be and we shall be forever.All i need from you now is to keep in touch with me always and stand by me while my purchases here last.
Hunnie,i expected your call but you never did.I want to be very close to your heart even if am not there with you.I think of you all day and night just want to be with you.I want to wake up and see you by my side.Please my love come over to the yahoo messenger so we can talk always because that we provide us the platform of chatting every minutes and it would bridge the gap of distance too.
I love you and will always love you as long as i still breath.
Forever yours,

Lorin,
On one hand, I love the words of love and lovingness from you. On the other hand, I wear a glove. I've come to the conclusion that all you will be able to give me are words. I need the other glove! You see, many people wear gloves. Some gloves help them drive. Others keep their hands warm in cold weather. Some wear gloves so their fingerprints don't get on things. Some people wear gloves to see how clean (or dirty) things are. Micheal Jackson wore gloves. Now, he's dead!
I've told you about my broken jaw and how I cannot speak loud enough to talk on the phone. I've told you about the doctor visits. I've told you how I have 7 weeks left in the Jaw Immobilization Mandible Harness. But, you keep asking me to call you. You know I cannot call you! I've told you about my inability to use a phone. But, you've been talking on the phone Lorin!!! I can tell you've been using the phone!! I can tell by the way you use the letter 'j' that you've been using the phone!
You've been talking to your girlfriend again!!! You're talking to your HEALTHY JAW GIRLFRIEND and it breaks my heart! My heart is broken into 561 fragments and I'm bleeding internally right now. My eyesight is hazy and I feel weak!
You continuously break my heart and speak to that other woman. I bet you bought her a glove!! I bet you bought her a whole pair!!! What color were they Loren? Were they made of nylon or leather? Were they lined?!? Were the Isotoner gloves? I bet they were! I need my gloves! Where are my gloves!?!
I'm convinced that you don't read my messages anymore. I've poured my heart out to you. I've shown things to you that I've never shown anyone else. I've let you see the "inner" me. The me that is warm and beautiful and full of blood and guts and stuff. I've told you about my collection of black velvet Elvis art.
Wait a second...that's it...it's so clear now...I see everything...that's it...THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!!
You're trying to get to my collection of black velvet Elvis paintings!!! You want my ART!!! You're trying to steal my art and sell it on the black market!! I was going to wake up one day and find every wall in my trailer completely bare, while you and your daughter drive away in a 1992 baby blue, Dodge Caravan (with wood paneling) laughing with all of my paintings!
Well, mister, I can tell you right now, you'll NEVER get my collection!!! I'm going to change all of the locks on my trailer TODAY!!! You'll never get your gloved hands on my 54 paintings!!!
You're dead to me Kelvin! You were doing this to steal my heart and my paintings. I bet you were going to steal my collection of Elvis snow globes too! Well, I'm wise to you now! You're lovely, gloved words don't work with me anymore!
Enjoy your other girlfriend,
Tess

Lorin,
You see!?! You just don't get it. You keep using your words! It's always words! I need more! I'm special! I'm a complex woman with complex needs and complex ideas and complex stuff. Yahoo Messenger can't do anything to salvage this relationship. Yahoo Messenger will only allow you to keep using your words. Your duplicitous, crafty, clandestine, misleading, sneaky words of deception.
You're simply trying to use your words to get close to me so you can sell my black velvet Elvis art on the black velvet market. You didn't deny it. This is absolute proof that I was right! Well, you can forget it. I've changed the locks on my trailer and installed a home security system from Radio Shack. My paintings are well protected now.
How is your OTHER girlfriend? I can tell you were talking to her again! The one you gave the gloves to. I can tell you've been talking by the way you used the word "YAHOO" in your message. It sickens me! I'm sickened right now! I'm sickened to my bowels! You sicken me! You're sickening!
I feel sorry for you Kelvin. You have a disease. A disease of the heart. A disease of the brain. Your disease makes you think that you can hold a woman's heart in one hands while you steal her black velvet Elvis paintings with your other. I only hope you can find a cure for your heart and brain...I really do.
Our relationship is over. Your treacherous words have no effect on me anymore. You will never get my black velvet Elvis paintings. My trailer has new locks and an alarm system from Radio Shack.
Good bye,
Tess
