Dear Anneliese Richter,

You haven't returned my letter yet. Do you not want to talk to me?

But you know I won't give up because I'm Lukas Podolski! I haven't even given up on my own life, so why am I giving you up? You interest me, you know that? Your bright hazel brown eyes that shine when the sun creeps through the sea of tall trees, the ones right by the end of the street.

I saw your mama today, but she wouldn't tell me anything about you. I think she frightens me; but maybe she just doesn't want to talk to me because I'm known as the kid with cancer on the block.

Do you think so, Anneliese? I think you're nicer than that. : )

Something nice happened to me this week! I was pulled out of school last Monday, and was invited to watch a derby! With my favorite team! FC Köln! I was internally yelling and screaming in joy, horror, and all the amazing feelings were pouring out onto the tiled floors of the dressing room.

Sometimes, I wish you were here with me to witness it all.

Because I think you'd understand.

You'd be the only one to understand.

Yours truly,

Lukas P.
