Hey,
It’s been a while since we talked, been a while since I loved you.
Almost three years now, actually. It’s strange to see you now, how differ-
ent you are, different we are. In some ways you’re the exact same person.
Your interests seem to have remained stagnant. But in nearly every other
sense you’re like a stranger to me. You’re still beautiful though, that hasn’t
changed. Your sweet smile, your dense-curly hair, the clean, smooth lines of
your
silhouette, they’re all still there.
I often wonder if you ever think of me, reminisce about the bonds of
the past. We’re pretty different now aren’t we. What would you think of me
now. Have I changes? A bit older now, maybe wiser too. Funnier I’d like to
think. More tired probably. Different, that I know for sure.
Our days together were quite gray, weren’t they. At least that how I
remember them. Clinging to each other for comfort in a time of deep
distress. Laughter covering up the emptiness that was my life. I hope you’re
happy now.
I’ll never forget you, I hope you know that. The way you could always
make me smile. The way it felt to hold you in my arms. The way you smelt
like home. The joy you brought to me, and the deep, dark pit you left be-
hind.
I hope you never forget me.
Sincerely,
Sophia
