Dear Justin,
This reply to your [open letter](http://justintimberlake.com/news/2013/justins-open-letter/) is long overdue. We have held our feelings inside for 15 years, and you should know you have had us completely lovestoned since the day you stepped onto the boy band scene with *NSYNC and those irresistibly-bleached, curly locks. It is time to let those feelings float into the air — the air of love, sweet Timberlake.
Now, let’s be honest, darling. Your brand new single, “Suit & Tie,” is a preview of what’s to come when you finally meet one of us — an extravagant Italian wedding. You’ll wear your suit and tie and whomever you choose as your lucky señorita will wear a beautiful ruffled pink dress. It will be magical.
We were just informed this already happened with some other woman named Jessica? Considering we know that, since your days with Britney and your matching denim red carpet outfits (that was a fashion faux pas we shall ne’er commit, love), you have never loved another woman in hopes you shall one day meet all of us and fall madly into a passionate love. This Jessica woman is simply a figment of Hollywood’s imagination. If she’s not, well, frankly, she can cry us a river.
Carrying on, we’d like to take a second to commemorate your wonderfully amazing talent that has taken our breath away over the last 15 years. God must have spent a little more time on you, love, because the way you brought sexy back after you and your band mates parted ways nearly eight years ago was astonishing. Then you proved to the world you are not only the smooth, handsome crooner we all knew you were, but you are a ravishing actor, too. Stepping into a whole new scene, willingly putting your family jewels in a box on “Saturday Night Live” and completely owning it is Oscar-worthy in our eyes.
Yes, of course we loved your acting, but knowing you are returning to your musical roots has us more elated than ever before. On March 19, when you release _The 20/20 Experience_ — your first album in almost seven years — we may just die and go to heaven (as long as you’ll come with us). If not, we’ll find some other way to celebrate your long-awaited return. We refuse to die without knowing what new musical ingenuity you have up your sleeve.
In the (modified) words of Shakespeare, Justin, if your music is the food of love, play on, you beautiful ex-boy band suit-and-tied dreamboat. March 19 cannot come soon enough, but watching you perform at the Grammys next Sunday will tide us over until then.
All our Justified love,
Your legion of devoted fans
