TALKING TO THE MOON!
[ PROLOGUE ]
✧

DEAR FINN,

it feels weird writing a letter, especially to you
but i wanna start by saying thank you for being
my best friend. even though you really were the
worst at jokes, you always somehow made me
laugh.

you were so gullible and indecisive, honestly you
were the worst at explaining your feelings and
helping me with mine. i guess that's a teenage
boy for you.

you made me so angry when you stole the
honey buns from the top shelf and even with
me hiding them in different places each time
you still managed to find them.

did i ever tell you i always wanted to be
your friend? yep it's true. i know at first,
i was a bit insensitive with you but you
grew on me and i liked having you around.

now having that said i wanna tell you what was
wrong with me. on may 5th 2007 i was diagnosed
with friedreich's ataxia, a rare genetic disease that
causes difficulty walking and loss of sensation in the
arms and legs.

i had an operation when i was a kid and had
to visit the hospital for regular check ups.
one day it got worse and i had to stay longer
and longer with each time i visited.

one night i overheard my parents
talking to the doctors outside my hospital
room. i knew i wouldn't have much time
so i decided to start living my life how i
wanted. the next week i was practically
begging my parents to let me go back to
school, i wanted to experience friendship.

so i set of to school one monday morning.
that's when i saw you finn! everyday after mrs.
browns 8th grade class i'd always sit on the
swings and watch you with your friends, you all
looked so happy.i wanted to be your friend to,
but how?

maybe i could join the soccer team you
were on or maybe i could just walk up
to you in the hall and ask that simple question.
instead i just watched from afar.

after all you all seemed so happy and you
fit well together, there was just no space
for me. of course i could ask violet but
everyone knows she has a huge crush on you.

well everyone, expect you.

but as time went by, that 8th grade year
soon became a high school year. 9th
grade. i wasn't in school much then
considering my condition but when i
was there, you'd always be too.

then, one day out of mere coincidence
you saw me waiting alone on the park
bench for the bus. out of nowhere you
asked if i wanted to be your friend.
i was ecstatic!

of course i did! how could anyone not?
yeah sure you were a bit sarcastic and
had a bit of a temper but your heart was
kind and made of gold. anyone would kill
to have a friend like you!

i want to deeply apologize for allowing us
to be friends. although it was the best time
of my life, it was also the saddest. having to
keep a secret like that was unbearable but
how does one tell their best friend they don't
have much time left?

so i did the easiest thing i could think of.
making every second with you count!
remember chasing those geese at the park
everyday after your soccer practice? and the
freezing pond i pushed you in when you stole
a bite of my ice cream. your mom was furious
with me! you stayed out of school for a full
week because of the cold that freezing water
gave you.

do you remember the moon and how much
i loved talking to it. that's the second most thing
i'll miss when i'm gone. the first? is you.

every little thing we did together had a place in
my heart. i wonder if i have a place in your heart.
i wonder if you'll still remember me. please never
forget the happy times we had and even though
you're sad always remember me ok?

one more thing finn wolfhard, i'm sorry i
couldn't say this while i was still alive but
it would have been harder saying goodbye
if you knew.

i love you.
i love you so much.

thank you for everything.

your dear friend,
luna neoma miyazono <3
