Dear X

Dear older stranger,

I love that you went to the cinema with your wife because she wanted to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2, but if my husband started snoring like that, he'd have had a sharp elbow in your ribs once or twice. Try to stay awake next time, or arrange for her to go with a friend or two and maybe you doze in the car instead.

Sincerely,

One who tried not to laugh.
 
Dear, clear blue skies. Golden sun. Perfect summer breeze.

You are welcome here. Invited even.
Your arrival was delayed. And I pray that your departure is delayed also.

Today is a perfect day. As creation was meant to be.
We will enjoy your visit. And let our weary, winter spirits soar.
 
dear ex
You ruined a place I love.
It’s tainted with your promises that you broke like a knife through my fragile heart.
When I go back, I can smell your lies.
You ruined so much - music I loved. Cities I love. My fragile health.
Yet you continue on like I never existed. Because you’re not man enough to admit what you did, using your fondness for sadism as a cover for who and what you are.
Trash.
And you are the company you keep. Trash.
 
Dear mom,
I know it was your time to go. And you deserve your rest. But I really wish you could have held on a little bit longer.
I have to hire a landscaper and he's talking about plants I've never even heard of. You'd know exactly what to do.
Trust the process girl. She IS talking through him.
