The secret

Dear.....

I am writing to say my huge passion for you

is over. In fact my total boredom

grows daily. The more I think of you, the more

tedious you seem. Sadly, the more

I feel this way, so the more I know I must

confess that I really never meant to

ask you to marry me. Our last date proved

there's absolutely no way on earth

I could spend my life with you!

Your revolting habits would depress me.

Being with you would overwhelm me with

misery and glum, and I'd never feel any

happiness, even in the smallest thing.

I know this is cruel, but

I really do mean it. I desperately hope

you accept gracefully and won't say

you long to marry me! You really are

lacking any resemblance to

the marvelous person I first thought.

I can't pretend

I long for your reply.

Now read it again, leaving every other line.
