I can’t think of a better way to spend a rainy day then to pen a love letter. During divorce we stop believing in love, so bring back that feeling by writing a love letter to anyone of your choice, maybe someone you’ve always admired from afar. Some say a love letter to yourself is effective in brightening the spirits. They say to go so far as address it, stamp it and put it in the mail. For those of us with short term memory loss, when we receive it we’ll be delighted and wonder who thinks so highly of us. In spite of that recommendation, I’m writing to Richard Gere. It’s more of a lust letter and I’m okay with that.
Dear Richard,
I hope I’m not too late in proclaiming my love for you. I recently came across a picture of you and was reminded that now would be a perfect time for you and I to (re)unite. You see I’m old enough and you’re still young enough. It was love at first sight in An Officer and a Gentlemen. Remember that film, when you picked me up in your arms at the end…oh? That was Debra Winger? Well, no need to split hairs. 
I secretly hoped my boyfriend at the time would sweep me up in his arms and take me away from whatever my 17 year old self was running from. I was young and although I didn’t ask you, I’m sure you would have told me to come back in 5 or 10 years. (or maybe 2 if you’re as perverted as they say). I was definitely too young to appreciate you in American Gigolo but I did have an unexplained interest in your rear view and when you were hanging upside down without a shirt, I was truly mesmerized. I apologize for this love letter coming so late but I’ve been busy being married and raising two children. Now though, I wanted to let you know I’m definitely old enough for you. Please don’t say “But I am too old for you”. Dearest Richard, you could never be too old for me. Call me. 
All my love,
Lisa

May 22, 2013 at 2:32 amFinding this post has so made my day! I will work on writing my own letter to Richard Gere. I wrote one to his wife awhile ago since I was feeling mildly guilty for admiring him so much since my husband of 21 years left.
Thanks again for inspiring me,
Lucy

June 25, 2012 at 12:25 pmHeya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.

June 17, 2012 at 2:40 amI’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays..

June 22, 2012 at 6:45 pmHi Archie, thank you so much for the compliment! The web design was a ‘style’ choice and of course the content and organization of it was me. I had a web designer put it together for me. It’s an ongoing process though. Thanks for stopping by.

June 6, 2012 at 11:45 amRichard Gere in Breathless 🙂 OH MY! He is a good actor.
My fantasy crush is on Richard Dean Anderson.He only improves with age. Began when my grandmother watched General Hospital, continued with Macgyver, then Stargate SG1. Still makes me sigh…

June 6, 2012 at 1:15 pmHi Maryellen, I guess it’s something about those Richards. I’ll have to check out your crush! I haven’t heard his name (yikes). It’s always fun to discover a new, handsome actor though so I’ll try to find him on one of those shows. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

June 5, 2012 at 7:49 pmLove this idea! Without a doubt, Ed Norton. I love his mix of dork and bad boy. Have you seen him shirtless in Fight Club…oh my. My heart belongs to my hubs, but if I were to ever find myself single again, I do believe I would be sending Mr Norton a letter!

June 5, 2012 at 8:51 pmEd Norton is a cutie. I’ll have to check him out in fight club for sure! Thanks for stopping by, Darian.
