Dear Lisa, 

I miss you. The first sentence probably says it all. Where did you go all of a sudden? I've been to your house. I know you're not there. I've driven everywhere, pulling my hair out trying to find you. Please come back! Soon! I mean I know you're coming back... right? Please say you are. You promised. Our promises never get broken.

That's what you said to me four years ago. I was sixteen, you had just turned sixteen. You said that you would always love me, and we pink-swore on it. That promise wasn't broken on my end, and I know it wasn't broken on yours. Seven months later, I broke my wrist. You pink-swore it would get better, and you gave me hot cocoa. Sure enough, it got better. Before you left, you pinky-swore that you would return. Don't break it.  

Please, for me? 

Thinking about that reminds me of all the stupid games we used to have. Tickling each other until Mercy. Chasing you around the couch every time you stole my phone. You know how much I miss that, and how it pains me to know that I'll never get it back? I guess you just can't do those sort of things anymore. 

Be back soon, or else I don't know what I'll do. 

Lots of love, 

Liam xoxo
