There was a time when if a boy wanted a girl to love him, he'd pass her notes in class, call her at home and talk on the phone for hours, and put pen to paper and pour his heart out. This was a time before cell phones and texting, email and social media, and whatever else develops in the name of "technological advancement" to further complicate the teenage experience while at the same time radically simplifying the general means by which they're expected to attempt to express their deepest feelings. Back then it took more than 140 characters to demonstrate the true passion, desire, devotion and yearning that burns and courses through young hearts. Teenage boys can be complex, wild, wonderful, dynamic and sometimes wicked and calculating creatures capable of sharing earnest, desperate, genuine, passionate, heart, guts and soul with intelligence, grace and maturity that belies their age. This collection of real love letters from real teenage boys stands as a testament to that. These letters, all addressed to the same teenage girl and diligently preserved by her for more than 20 years, date back to the late 1980s and into the early 1990s. Many of them were drenched with the writer's signature fragrance of Polo, Drakkar Noir or whatever other scent was popular among teens at that time. These boys are grown men now and have families and careers and lives of their own that don't include this girl. To that end, names, places and other identifying details have been changed or removed.
