Letters for Rose {to be continued}

Dear Rose, (39)

When someone is hungry, food tastes better. When someone is thirsty water tastes better. But the funny thing is, if I ask them what they want to drink they might choose between soda and juice but they never pick water. And water is pretty necessary. So why is that? Why do people choose what they don't need? Why do people make some stupid and reckless decisions like this? When we are thirsty the only thing that kills thirst is water. You can argument as much as you want but that's the truth. So, try to visualize this situation from my perspective. This is like wanting you, needing you but choosing not to have you. In my case that's the opposite. I shouldn't want you, I shouldn't need you but I choose to have you even though I don't. So, yeah, don't choose water, just drink something that will relief the thirst. And so, here's what I concluded: You don't have to love everything a person does to love that person so even though you left and that's number one on my list of things I hate, I still love you. And I have the right to love you. In my way indeed, but it's also love and it's also countable. I can still love you, I have that right. I don't like all your decisions but that's okay, right? You don't love any of mine as well. We are obviously different, so what? Different is good, right? Answer me this Rosalie! Different is a good thing, isn't it? Cause I really want to believe it is.
