Dear Jose,
Do you even remember me? I mean, it's been a lifetime, hasn't it? I know it's crazy, but here I am, writing to you after all these years.
I want you to know what happened because I think you deserve to hear the truth. My parents began cutting up the letters before letting me read them, starting with your confession. But I had a lot of time on my hands down there, so I'd piece them together, tiny shred by tiny shred, just to hold onto your words. Your letters were my lifeline, Jose. Your words gave me the strength to endure.
I need you to know that I did and still do love you, too. I know it's a lot to take in, and I'm so sorry for not being honest with you back then. I mentioned that one time my mother hit me, but there was so much more, so much I was too embarrassed to say. I didn't want to burden you with my problems when you already had so much on your plate. I want to thank you for never giving up on me, even when it must have seemed like I'd vanished from the face of the Earth. And I understand that you had to move on, that life went on for you. But, Jose, I missed you for every one of those 14 years I spent alone. I'd reread those torn-up letters of yours over and over, just to feel close to you.
By the time you get this letter, I'll already be on a flight to the Great Barrier Reef. I've decided to see the world, to live the life I never could before. But, Jose, I'll be stopping for an hour in North Carolina. You waited for me for years, so now, I'll wait for you. Hopefully, you'll join me?
Love yours,
Analise

P.S. The most significant thing to happen to me is you.
