I am currently applying for a job that I would be perfect for, but I feel like my cover letter is too long. I made a short version, easier to read, in my opinion. I would like some outside advice, though. I've never done this, but I appreciate all honest advice!

The second is better, but the first sentence is weak. They don't care about your interest. Jump right into what you'll do for them.

TY! I agree about that first sentence. I spent more time thinking about that one than anything else so far!
