Dear Casey,
As I sit here in a correctional institution in Texas, I often think of my past and some of my many mistakes. One involves a woman I fell in love with back in Michigan. Her name is Amy. I was a police officer, and she was working as a waitress in a bar in Lansing back in 1987. We had a intense & short relationship. But Casey, I was in love with her. We connected the minute we met. Unfortunately due to my immaturity & failure to commit, I lost the love of my life. I'd give anything to be able to tell her how sorry I am & to ask her for another chance. I've been divorced since 1993, and I've never found a love like Amy. Please play "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" to let her know she's in my thoughts. Thanks.
