Dear Hope,

It's been such a long time since I've seen you! I know you're off far away somewhere, probably too happy to even be thinking of little old me, but I thought I'd write, since I was just thinking about you! I was talking to a friend about, you know, some of the things that drove you away all that time ago, and for reasons I can't quite explain, I thought I felt you with me, with your hand clasping mine and your smile (that I was so luckily exposed to) radiating to every living thing on Earth. I felt like you were there again, trying to convince me that no matter what, everything would turn out fine. And I realized that I really, really missed you, and I still do, but I just don't know how to get you to come back. Now that I've realized this, I don't know how I'll live without you. Yet, everyday I feel like this, I somehow believe you're closer. Maybe I'll see you soon.
