Dear Love,
I wish I could have known you.

Dear Fate,
You truly screwed me over.

Dear Mother,
Do you miss the days where I was a child? I do. If it was sunny, we’d play outside. If it rained, we’d open the cupboard under the stairs and play the board games we stashed there. These were the simpler times, and these are the times I miss most.

Dear Father,
Do you miss me? Do you regret losing me, or was it a relief?
I shouldn’t really be asking questions. I know I won’t receive answers to these letters I write.
The angels says it will heal me, but I think perhaps I am too far gone, too broken. And, I think that was your fault.

Dear Heartbreak,
In life, I believed I knew you. I believed you found me when I pined over the people I’d lost (whom I never truly had).
I knew nothing of you, all along. I know you now.
Nothing is worse than the heartbreak of knowing there’s no way back. There’s no way for life, nor love, and thus no love-born heartbreak can come. I feel you, though.
I understand you now.

Dear Maria,
You don’t know me. You were my sister, for just a day. For just a day, you loved me, but I have loved you ever since.
I thought we’d meet again once I left the world, but I guess it was not fate’s intention.

Dear Fate,
Another thing I hate you for.

Dear Maria, again,
Did you know our eyes are the same shade of blue?
I am glad that this world did not get the chance to twist your heart to be the same shade of bruised as mine is. I am glad, but I am sorrowful.
I wonder what shade of emotion would have been your favourite.
I wonder if you’d have given me a nickname.
I wonder if you’d have been good at school.
I wonder if you’d have been kind.
I wonder if you would have seen past the self I built for others to see.

Dear Secrecy,
Of all my letters, this is the first I write to someone I truly knew. Yet, of all my letters, it is the only one where I have nothing meaningful to say.
You kinda sucked.
I won’t miss you.

Dear Time,207Please respect copyright.PENANAms2RQEW2XM
I had seventeen years worth of you, and it wasn't enough to live. How can that have happened? Why did you leave me?
Was there always a countdown, or was it a split-second decision to end my life?207Please respect copyright.PENANAaug1rEPOx9
I think, now that I have had space to deliberate, that you are the most invaluable resource in the world. You can make anything with time, and everything comes from it. Funny. Wish I'd have known before.207Please respect copyright.PENANAW16ugsOEfN

Dear Angels,
I think you were right. The letters are helping. I'm not sure I'm doing them exactly as you had imagined, but they're helping all the same.
Once my spirit has faded, I plead with you to treat my family kindly. My mother should never have lost her child. My father did not deserve all that life did to him.
Oh, another letter to write.

Dear Life,
Thankyou. Thankyou, and goodbye.
