My Dearest

Chapter 1

I don’t know if you will ever read this, but I need to write it anyway. Maybe this is my way of letting you go, of setting free the feelings that have been trapped inside me for far too long. Or maybe, this is just another desperate attempt to hold onto something that was never truly mine.

I hope you’re okay. I hope life is being kind to you, that every dream you chase finds its way into your hands. I hope you smile often, that your heart feels light, and that you find warmth in the arms of someone who truly sees you. Someone who can be everything I could never be to you.
I love you. And I don’t know when I will ever stop.

It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? To love someone who was never truly mine. To hold onto something that, deep down, I knew was slipping through my fingers even before I had the chance to grasp it. You are like the ocean so vast, so mesmerizing, so untouchable. I could stand on the shore and admire you, but I was never meant to dive in and become part of your depths.
