another letter

delaney,

i woke up this morning, hoping to see a letter at the door from you. but instead i was greeted with a newspaper; your face was on the front page.

delaney, i cried. i thought it was my fault. i wanted to be there for you. i never thought of going to see if you were okay, i didn't know if you wanted me to. i'm sorry my handwriting is sloppy right now, my vision is blurred by my tears.

i'm so sorry i wasn't there. i can't help but feel as though this is my fault. i wanted us to talk about our problems together, to hang out, go on dates, kiss, etc.

delaney, i wanted to tell you the night i took you to see the stars, but i thought it would've been weird, being as we've only communicated through poetry and letters. now is as good as time as any to tell you:

i love you.

i love you so much delaney. i loved the way you would write me everyday, tell me about how you felt, what you wanted, your outlook on everything. i loved it; i love you. your mind, your creativity. i love everything about you. your eyes, your hair, the way you try to hide your face when you blush.

when we went to see the stars, that was the best day of my life. seeing you so happy, a large grin on your face as you looked up at the twinkling lights. examining each and every one. you took a small glance at me, then focused back on the night sky, saying:

"nothing, could amount to the beauty of these stars."

i lightly chuckled at your statement, causing you to turn your head back at me, your eyebrows furrowed together. that's when i said:

"you're much more beautiful than the stars, delaney."

you blushed, hiding your face.

remember that? that will always be my favorite memory of you. when we went to see the stars together, staying there for hours and hours.

i can't believe the news of you, taking your life is true. i can't believe it delaney, i'll still be waiting for your letter back, hoping and praying it isn't true.

i love you so much delaney xx.

- lots of love, harry xx
