Letter to Alex
By HSuys
Dear Alex,
I know you left me and Memphis for New York, trying to make it there after winning a local talent show at Central High School.
But I’m writing you this letter to tell you I can’t live without you no more.
You have to get back to me once-a more.
Anyway, get yourself a ticket for an aeroplane, you ain’t got time to take a fast train.
I don’t care how much money you got to spend.
Please come home, so lonely days will be gone.
You don't have to be a Big Star for me.
Love, Laura
