Dear my best friend,

I am going to stop using signals and just write it out this way, though I’ll just keep it obvious that it is between you and I and state things only you would know about. I’ve felt like a living ghost that was fading for over a decade with that terrible dark raven and now I am coming to light and the raven openly hates me for starting to live again. Of our lemon balm days and pancake plans, tea times and book store outings we planned, of course. I am considering of expediting my plans to sooner. I am not sure exactly when but I’ll try to keep you posted. Summer is coming and you know what that means for me. Hugs and prayers and hope from me, my dear friend.

Love, your best friend too

    Beautifully done.

  • Your open & closing cause me to reflect on how often my best friend only holds me as friend & vice versa. It's good to read of a relationship that is reciprocal rather than all those unevenly yoked. Thank you, Melissa.
