Dear Midnight,
It's been a month. A month since I last wrote, a month since all the dark points of my life decided to come together.So today I went to visit you.
We had a long talk, you and I. I cried about it, of course I did. But you know what else? I think the broken pieces are finally falling in place.
I will never know the reason why heaven took you instead of me. But I do believe that, as you said, everything happens for a reason. Perhaps you were there to teach us all to notice each other's pain, and now that your job is done, you are leaving. Maybe. I don't know.
But I do know something Midnight. That no matter how far you have gone, you'll still be here, and I'll always carry a piece of you with me. You are my sister, and we were by chance, but I do believe we were friends by choice. You came into our lives to teach us something, and now that you've done teaching I suppose you had to go.
Whatever way my story is supposed to end, I know you'll still be there. It's like that song from Wicked, isn't it? You'll be there like a handprint on my heart, always and forever.
I love you Midnight. And I hope you're having fun up in the big castle in the sky.
