Dear Diary,
I have received an invitation to attend Mr Fairweather's Birthday Ball. He once again wrote of how he valued our friendship but understood if I were to decline. You are well aware of my love of balls, but an opportunity to attend Mr Fairweather's is something I have, greatly, longed for in the past.
Such a wave of memory and emotion came over me upon receiving it and though I never mention it here, he is often upon my mind. I miss him so and fear my feelings for him will never be subdued no matter how far from sight or mind, I try to put him.
I declined by return of post.
Am I selfish? Am I a lesser person for being unable to bear the sight of him happy in another's arms? I wish I were able to accept only his friendship but I cannot. My head is willing but my heart is not. My heart wants all of him.
I wish him happiness and I know he wishes it me. 'Tis such a pity it cannot be with each other.

Dear Wayne,
I understand how you feel, I have experienced such similar trials.
Yours in kindred spirit,

My dear Mr Moose,
It always good to know I am not alone.

Dear Wayne,
I heartily encourage you to attend to Mr Fairweather's ball. One must never be faint of heart in such circumstances. I feel sure Mr F will be delighted to see you and who knows what might ensue.
Please do go Wayne; I beseech you to be bold.
My dear Earl of Islington,
I did not mention at the time, but a few months past, I received another missive from Mr Fairweather. He was enjoying a sojourn abroad and the sting in my heart at receiving it was hard to bear. I admit to jealousy. I wished I was laughing with him and the thought that he was laughing with another pained me terribly. I cannot attend the ball for my tender heart could not bear to see him happy with another. I trust you can understand and not think me weak or cowardly.
Yours determinedly,
Wayne Austen
I think you should betake yourself to France. Wasn't their un certain Emmanuel there, who might prove a suitable companion?

My dear mysterious Dr 'h',
Do long distance relationships ever work?
Yours questioningly,
Wayne Austen
Ah! That question!
Remorse! Remorse!
