à meschers: Dear Maurice

Dear Maurice,

I was 19 and so was he. He was this tall guy and his eyes had shined like the stars in the sky. I actually hated him before because he looked arrogant and spoiled but as they say first impressions are the worst. He is gentle with me, he listens to my troubles for hours even if he’ll end up going to school late. He loves teasing me, calling me crazy names until I finally lose my temper and punch his back.

I don’t really know why but I feel safe whenever I’m around him. I met him just a few months after my two angels left this world and I think he was exactly what I needed at that time. He walked into my life like a firefly to remind me that grief heals and there’s a reason why I’m still breathing. I just wanted to take this chance to thank him and to tell him that:

I just wanted to tell you, I love you. I love you so much. I don’t know when it happened, or even why. I don’t expect anything back. You don’t even need to reply. I just wanted to you to know that I love you.

Loving,
Katherine
