Future

To my dearest Sophie,

When you left, it was as if time had stopped. Leaving me incapacitated while the world around me was free to collapse.

Sophie.

My Sophie.

Why did it have to be you? You did nothing but good, and you received nothing but bad. I wish for nothing more than for you to have told me. This feeling of helplessness was continuing long after you had gone.

I miss you, Sophie. Every day I think about what your last moments were like. Did it hurt? Were you scared? Are you okay? Picturing you in the vast expanse of never-ending darkness, unable to wake up scares me every hour of the day. What is it like on the other side? Is it more peaceful than the hell you had been living in? Or do you want to come back?

Every night, I sing 'Love of my Life' to myself and think of you, and only you. Who knows why I am even writing this letter, you'll never see it, maybe this is my way of saying goodbye.

I'll miss you, Sophie, and I'll always live with the hope that you would have said yes.

Yours forever,

Christian x
