Can You Hear Me?

A Letter to No One

Today I wrote a letter to no one, and I've never felt better.

It went like this:

Dearest Friend-

There's so much about you I don't know.

I don't know your favorite color.

I don't know your best friend in the whole world. 

I don't know your hardest subject in school.

I don't know what passes through your mind when your eyes glass over.

I don't know what you want to be when you grow up.

I don't know what you think about before you go to sleep at night.

I don't know when you're sad.

I don't know if you even care.

I don't know if you even know me.

I don't know if you talk about your problems or if you keep them in.

I don't know if you HAVE any problems.

I don't know how you act around your friends.

I don't know how to tell you how I feel.

I don't know how to tell you anything.

I don't know if you love yourself or not.

I don't know if you'll read this.

I don't know if you'll toss it away without a glance.

I don't know anything about you, dear friend.

...But I'm willing to listen...

If any of you want to write your answers in comment boxes, I'll have the next entry your responses!

-Much love from a 'dear friend,' Chelsea <3
