Found in the folder of "sketches"

I was cleaning off my hard drive today, and I came across this little piece of writing from several years ago.  I think that it was supposed to continue, but I don't remember, and I have no idea where I was heading with it.  Anyway, I enjoyed reading it, and thought I would share.

Dear ----------, 

I just wished to inform you that I have given you my heart for safekeeping. I shall want it back eventually, so I would appreciate if you took good care of it.  Okay? Thanks.

Love, _______

Dear _______,

I regret to inform you that I have not yet received your heart, though I am looking forward to it.  I am sure it is a lovely heart, and I am honored that you have selected me as the one best able to take care of it.

Best Wishes, ---------

Dear -----------,

I sent it registered mail, so it should be arriving soon. It is a lovely heart, a tad bit impulsive and inclined to love too much too soon, but all in all, a good one.  However, wearing it on my sleeve all the time was getting a bit tiring, so I decided to pick a good person to look after it for me.  I investigated and decided you were up to the task.

Thanks much, _______

Dear _______,

Yesterday's post brought your heart, and I must say that it is one of the finest I have ever seen.  It does seem to have the faults that you pointed out, but despite that it appears to also be very pure and kind, loving people and things that most would consider unlovable.  This was unexpected and nice, and I am looking forward even more to learning more about this fine specimen during our time together.

Happily, ------------

Dear -----------,

I am glad to hear that you are excited about your safekeeping of my heart.  I believe it will be to the advantage of both of us, which is why I have initiated this conversation and contact.  In my research I discovered that this is an office you have fulfilled before, for ***********.  She seems to have greatly benefited from the experience and I was hoping for the same.  You also seemed to be a modest person, which contributed to my selection of you as the protector of my heart.

Admiringly, __________
