Dear You,

I hope that your new life is worth living,
despite the fact that everything you once had is now gone.
Everything that you gained, and the people you loved,
are no longer worth loving.
I hope that your new life compensates for all of the wreckage you've left behind,
regardless of how quickly you stepped over it as it crumbled around your feet.

I hope that, despite the face-to-face cordiality,
you know that your new life will never erase the reality
that you are who you are,
that you did what you have done,
and that you are still not a strong enough person to confront yourself.

Sincerely,
Me.
