Dear Aruji,

It's been forty five hours eighteen minutes and three seconds since we lost you. Though I'm not fond of calculations, I miss you more with every second that passes. Today too, how will you spend your day? Even you need time to admire the elegance of another world, right? Or should I say, the afterlife? That is what I believe. I hope what you see there are good things.

Throughout the days I've spent, one thing I know is that you are a being of art as well. Spring your step, your movements carry such elegance, not rare I find myself mesmerised by you. You are truly one of a kind, a woman so strong yet thoughtful, bold yet kind, so mild yet you carry unbearable responsibility.

I may as well say, you are a role model of mine. I am inspired by you.
Aruji, sad to say that the world I see is no longer the same world I saw when I was with you. So bleak and devoid of color.

I've been trying to take my mind off of you. Tried. So I wrote a lot of poems but when I look back to all the pieces, each of them contains you. What a big influence you are. The little one got curious so I invited him to join me. He wrote your name and cried himself to sleep, I had to send him back to his brothers.

Aruji, everyone is longing for you. Please, if it isn't too much of a hassle, come back.

Written with love,

Kasen Kanesada
