it hurt almost,
the feelings wrapped up in this letter.
I felt the paper beneath my fingertips
and concentrated on the pulsing
in my soul.
it was warm and thriving
and filled with everything
I wished I could remember.

that I had someone out there
that I had trusted
and couldn't even remember
his name before I saw it scribbled
on these letters.
but no matter how much it hurt,
it awoke something in me.
something, that after the endless check
ups and the time trapped in a hospital,
made me feel human again.
I was nothing,
an empty being with a mind full
of useless facts.
but with these letters,
I was something.
