Dear Ashley,

You don’t know me but I just needed to make some contact with you. I just needed to tell you what you’ve been made me been feeling for the past few months.

Even since I went to your show on January 30^th I’ve been coming back every night you’ve played. Every single night. Why you ask? Well, that watching you perform just blew me away. Your music just touched a part of me. A part that nobody has never touched before. It’s so soulful, so passionate, so real. The way you write songs about love, sex, death is simply amazing. So beautiful.

When you’re up on stage you seem to get lost in your music. It’s as if everything and everybody goes away. It’s just you expressing yourself. You exposing your soul and that simple observation is what made me keep going back. Keep wanting to go back and experience you. You and your amazing gift.

I know I probably sound like a groupie/stalker but I’m not. Really I’m not. I’m just writing this because I needed to tell you how much you’ve touched me. I needed to tell you how amazing you are. How adorable you are after an amazing performance. All hyped up and basically bouncing off the walls. What a wonderful performer you are. What a beautiful soul and heart you have.

You’re probably wondering why I’m saying that you have a beautiful heart and soul, right? Well, that’s easy to answer. I’ve watched you. Not only off the stage but a couple of times when you were coming into the club. Again, I’m not stalking you but it was simply coincidence a couple a times and another was my lame attempt at trying to get the gumption to actually introduce myself to you.

One night I actually waited till the club was about to close with the hope to actually introduce myself to you and maybe have a little conversation. But I just couldn’t do it. Just as I was making my way to you, three girls no less beat me to you and started talking to you. The girls were all so beautiful and young. So I chickened out and decided to maybe follow you out of the club and hopefully catch you alone.
