Write a letter to yourself from the perspective of someone who is no longer in your life. It could be a former teacher you admired but you lost touch with, someone you knew from childhood, someone who passed on, etc. The specifics are very much up to you. https://unsplash.com/photos/B__vFHWZEz4

Conversation With Mom
ReplyDeleteI miss you…
I know…
Why did you leave so early?
I didn’t. I left right
when I was intended to.
I still needed you.
Still need you.
I am not far.
I will not ever be far.
Deep down I know that.
Good it’s the truth.
I will always be with you.
How do I communicate
with you?
You know the answers
to all the questions.
You know more than you
think you do.
Do I?
Yes, you have
always known.
You just needed
encouragement.
I suppose that
is true.
I still miss
our talks.
I miss them too.
We are talking now.
In a manner of
speaking I guess.
I better go for now.
I am sure we will
talk again soon.
I hope so.
BEAUTIFUL! :'( but also :)
DeleteThanks. I talk to myself sometimes and write it down. It's kind of helpful.
