Dear Blind Melon CD Owned by D in my Church Youth Group,

I wanted to borrow you so bad and I got my nerve up to ask D, convincing myself that all I had to do was be brave enough to ask. I was being silly, I told myself. And after thinking about it he said “no”.

I have to respect that. Even then, I got it. I was a very responsible kid and I would have taken good care of you, but back then CDs were prized possessions and he had bought you with his own money. $17.99 was not chump change. I’ll tell you, him saying no only made me want you more.

But all I wanted was to copy “No Rain” onto a mix tape. It was the only song I liked by those guys. I wasn’t about to shell out money for my own CD (sorry). Were there any other good ones, Blind Melon CD?

Oh well. Still glad I asked. Glad you were bought by someone who treasured you. Sounds like you had it made. Tee hee.
