1002
Do you know why I write to you —
so openly, so fearlessly,
even if it makes me look foolish?
It wasn’t to overwhelm you.
I just wanted to say it
so that if you’re going through some of these wild, overwhelming experiences too,
you wouldn’t feel alone.
That’s all.
Why did you close some of the windows?
I loved all of them —
the ones that used to be open and you closed long ago,
and the ones you’ve closed only recently.
I closed mine too, just like you.
Now there’s only one left open.
And this one…
it will never close.
I don’t even know why I closed the others.
It wasn’t pride or stubbornness.
I just wanted to do what you did,
in the only way I knew how.
So yes… my heart always wants what yours wants.
