     Flash fiction about an unrequited relationship.
Yours—
Not yours sincerely, yours faithfully, best regards or best wishes, kind regards or regards.
Love.
There are half-remembered quotes I would like to repeat to you. I can’t remember the way you said them or I said them, but I wish I could.
I have a snapshot of you in a park beside a swing weighted down by iron chains. The sun is in your hair – the tremendous harvest of your hair.
We weren’t a story, not a short story. We were unfinished letters and we never knew how to end them. Was I yours, ever? Ever, yours?

You leave one with a lot of thought. I, too, have contemplated the value of ending a letter with "Yours." Do we really mean it. Have we ever meant it? I found this story not only informative but very clever.

It is amazing how many things we pick up without thinking and continue to do it without really understanding what we are doing. The one thing that I did learn from tenth grade typing that did engage my mind was the use of "Ladies and Gentlemen" to open a letter rather than, Sir, Sirs, Master, Hey There, Hi, or other too informal or totally incorrect or obsolete wording.
