Dear Poem,
I know it’s been a while since we talked but apparently a pen and paper “Aren’t cool anymore.” Or “Aren’t the in thing.” I don’t even know the language that everyone uses but anyway, I think it’s wrong, but I don’t want to be a loser. I tried to get the courage up to write to you, but I was too scared of getting made fun of.
Congratulations on all your achievements you deserve it. I knew you could do it. I am sorry for all your hardship I wish it could have been different, I wish you could have had your happy ending with them.
Do you have everything you ever wanted, or do you want more? After everything that you’ve been through, I would understand that you want more.
Things are going great here, although I do have my ups and downs because some days I feel great and then others I want to cry all day. I miss them so much, almost as much as you.
I have all most everything I want, all I need now is to have someone by my side. I have a great job, I have a great home and a family to help me along my journey to my happily ever after.
I wanted to tell you this a little while ago, but I couldn’t, these people picked on me for reading my favourite book. I didn’t want to get bullied again so I threw the book out and now I really wished I hadn’t.
I really need you right now. To help me through this. To help me become as confident as you.
I miss you more than anything else including my favourite book.
Signed with Love,
The Pen
