Day 15: The person you miss the most.

Whoa, look at that. The day has changed already.

Dear person I miss the most,

This is a tricky letter. I don't really know.

I miss you because you're far away from me, and there's nothing we can do about it for years. I guess the futility of it, how I can't change any of it, how small I am in the whole scheme of things, has taught me paitience and flexibility. Maybe that only applies to this situation, because those are actually opposites of characteristics I would describe myself as having. I just have to let go and roll with the changes, because what's happening is happening. And that how I've come to think of you.

I really like the times when you're not far away from me. When we can slip back into our real relationship and pretend like the rest isn't happening. Those times anchor my year and divide it. And when it isn't happening, I go on living my life. Because, of course, that's the only option, and it makes it feel like it goes faster in the in-between.

It'll be interesting to see how we float through it all when you're home again. But then again, who knows if we'll ever be in the same place again? Our paths are funny, parallel and twisted and colliding all the time, but our timing is never quite impeccable.

Ah, but that's how it is. I do miss you, and I hope you're well. Always do.

Love,
Lolo.
