From Within

24. Letter To Someone I Knew

Hey, it's been a while.
I don't see you anymore.
Yes, I miss you. A lot.
You can't even imagine how much.
The last I saw you was what?
Eleven months and nineteen days before?
Long time, isn't it?
I didn't think I could live so long,
So long without you.
I still remember it clearly as if
It was yesterday; our last heart-to-heart conversation together
I don't think you shared that with someone else.
That late night talk was so worth everything in this world.
I just want to speak with you again.
Like we used to before.
It's been so hard, you know.
Not fighting with you.
Not feeling your presence.
Knowing you won't be back.
It breaks my heart, and not only me,
Others suffer too... It's just, if you could see us,
Right now; if I could see you right now.
You don't know what we suffer.
But only if you were present here.
We would never let you go anywhere, I promise.
But if you ever want to appear in my dreams,
Even for once; please stay a little while longer.
I want to hold on for as long as I can.
As much as I can.
And it's not easy holding on to a memory, you know.
But wherever you are, stay safe, brother!!

—Your little sister.
