Dear Caitlin,
I had a dream about you last night. We were walking hand in hand in the park, just like we used to. You were wearing that blue dress I love so much, and your smile was brighter than the sun. We talked about everything and nothing, just enjoying each other's company. When I woke up, reality hit me like a ton of bricks. You're really gone. I don't know how to move forward without you.
Today, I tried to go through some of your things. It was too hard. Each item holds a memory, a piece of you. Your favorite book, still open to the last page you read. The scarf you wore when we went ice skating. I couldn't bring myself to move anything. It's as if moving them would mean letting go, and I'm not ready for that.
I miss your touch, your smile, your voice. Everything feels so empty without you here. I find myself wandering through the house, looking for traces of you. I keep hoping that somehow, I'll find you, that this will all be a bad dream. But every corner I turn, I'm faced with the harsh reality that you're not coming back.
Writing to you helps, but it also makes me realize how much I've lost. I love you more than words can express, Caitlin. I wish you were still here with me. Every day is a struggle without you, but I try to hold on to the memories we created. I hope you can feel my love, wherever you are.
Always in my heart,
Davin
