My mind keeps circling back to your memory these days
and it’s been a bit difficult to stop it
from wandering towards you.
I noticed that each time I am on the verge of
completely letting everything fade naturally,
something pulls me back from taking that final step
– a song, your birthday,
the color of your eyes, a flower.

And today I’ve finally come to realize why –
you were my first leap of faith in a while
and your appearance was quite serendipitous,
you already know this.

Now, more than ever, I am certain that
you were sent by the divine,
and that’s the only reason I can come up with
to explain why you hold a very special place in my heart –
your memories have taken root and it’s difficult pull out.

At this point, I am giving in to this persistent thought –
it’s getting a bit tiring to go against the longing in my heart.
So I’d like to tell you that, wherever you are,
I hope that you are happy;
I hope that you find success in all your pursuits;
I hope that you are safe and healthy;
I hope that all of the issues you had before have been resolved;
I hope you find time to rest;
I hope that you take time to appreciate
each sunrise and sunset, to gaze upon the moon;
I hope you make time to breathe deeply
and feed your soul with whatever brings it joy;
I hope you’ve found your peace,
and ultimately, I wish you well.

Yours sincerely,
