Eleven Years

CHAPTER 20

11th STREET MAILBOX
12 YEARS AGO

Dear Rosie,

Baby, it's been two damn years. How was your birthday? Mine went alone. We should've celebrated it together like what we used to do. My special day, your special day, us, sipping champagne as we welcome ourselves to 20's, it was all in my imagination. It's getting lonely when I keep daydreaming about it.

I don't even know what to do, my mom told me to let go but I can't. My heart and soul just can't.

Now, the rain is bothering me. It's not my favorite weather anymore but it used to be somehow. The whole city is sad right now, well, maybe it's just me.

I just finished my homework and decided to write a letter for you. It's been a while since I haven't write anything. Your aunt, Miss Morgan, telephoned me for the first time in years and she told me about your new address there in Philly. I am so happy, deeply thankful, that all of my letters have been read by you. Miss Morgan said that you're a little uncertain lately and she can't understand you, what's going on? I want to hear your voice, I haven't heard it for two years now. I miss the way you call me by my name, I'm dying to hear a second of it, please.

I'm almost in my third year now and I can't wait to visit you there in Philly in December! I'm longing for you.

My dad went here last time and told me that Jake wanted to let go of all his dreams, one of that is his competition with me for the ownership of the company. I never knew the reason why, my dad only mentioned that 'love' changed Jake. I don't believe him, maybe Jake is just planning something. I just can't have a peace of mind with my brother, it's hard. I'm not used to it.

Rosie, I can't wait to see you. I can't wait to kiss you and make love to you after a long time. I hope you're still the same as before, I hope you never changed baby.

Missing you is killing me.

My imagination with you is too good to be true.

I'm too hopeful right now to be hopeless.

Please, be the same as you were back then because I'm always be the Jared who loves you deeply, unconditionally and definitely.

See you soon baby!

'I will do everything to make you smile, laugh and worth it. Remember that Rosie. Bye for now.'


Love,

Jared
