Dear Hope,

Sincerely Yours.

Dear hope,

I know we have been off lately and I am quite aware of the strain in our relationship on account of the countless occasions where I had given up on you. Things have been moving so fast that I do not give you my thoughts for even a second. I know you feel neglected and let down. Ever since I left you, I have been feeling the same way.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about us. I thought of all the times that we had spent together. Back when life was slower, sweeter and better. We’ve had so many close saves. And every time the next one happens I only hold you closer. I cannot remember when exactly I let you go. I cannot remember the last time I called for you. Its been so long that I’ve forgotten how to talk to you. I do not know where you are now or if you would ever come back. I know that I have to wait for the scars to fade. I feel like I have been falling into an abyss for so long and not reaching the bottom yet. I try to grab on to something, but there’s nothing there.

I have started falling slower now and I think I see visions pass by, some old, some new memories; All of where I had you with me. I know not, if we would ever be the same. I know not if I would recognize you again. But I am waiting to meet you soon. Somewhere, at some corner of life. I want you to come back to me. I cannot promise it will be the same. But I promise to stay this time. I promise that I would try harder to listen. I leave my windows open now, hoping to hear you call out to me. And now everyday I wait . And in waiting for your return, I think I am getting closer to you.

Sincerely Yours,

A.
