Dear Justin,

I don't know why I'm writing to you because you no longer exist. Physically, your body is here, but the Justin that was madly in love with me, the Justin I knew, the soul that overlapped mine for a split moment in time, is gone. The truth is, we are both different people now. We're different people because we no longer have any influence on each other; we no longer talk, and in short, we're strangers. A lot of different relationships in our lives are being nurtured and when souls overlap, they change, and so you've changed because of the people that have been influencing you. The parts of you that were fragments of me are no longer there. I no longer know what you do, what you think, what you're struggling with.

It's interesting to think about how we make people who used to be everything into nothing again... how we learn to forget, how we force forgetting, what we put in place of them in the interim. Maybe there's no choice but to make them someone different in our mind.

You're no longer the person that knows my daily anxieties, what I look like naked, what makes me cry, and how much I love you. These things have changed for you as they've changed for me. What made me worry back then is different from what makes me worry now. What I look like naked has changed. What makes me cry has changed. In short, we've both changed to some degree whether we recognize it or not.

I like to think that I still love you, but the truth is, I don't even know you anymore, so how do I know if I love the person you've become?

I'm in love with someone that doesn't exist. I'm in love with the old you, the you that I knew.

Hope is both beautiful and debilitating. My hope that you're somehow still the same person is torturing me, every day.
