Letter by Waiting for Forever (L)

25 Mayo 2011

Dear Emma-
Those two words, "Dear Emma,"
take me away to another time,
when we used to write to each other
after Mom and Dad died.
I used to tell you about
my new friends and my new life.
And you used to tell me about
the great time my mom
and dad were having in heaven.
Truth is nothing.
What you believe to be true
is everything.
And the main thing
that I used to believe
was that I would be with you forever.
Forever.
The reason it has taken me
so long to write to you...
is that I see
that I have been a fool.
- I've spent my life fooling myself.
Every letter I've ever written to you
has been a love letter.
How could they have been anything else?
I can see now that all of them,
except this one,
were bad love letters.
Bad love letters beg for love back.
Good love letters ask for nothing.
This, I'm pleased to announce,
is my first good love letter to you,
because there is nothing more
for you to do.
You've already done everything.
I have enough of you
in my head to last forever.
So please don't ever worry about me.
I'm peachy. I really am.
I have everything.
If I had one wish,
it would be that your life...
brings you a taste of the happiness
you have brought to me,
that you can feel
what it's like to love.
Your friend forever,
Will.
