A Tribute to My Wonder Woman: Letter Nº11

I grew older and suddenly it became crucial to find something you can’t lose. There you were and I had found you.

I was never destined to be without you. You’re engraved in my heart, mind, and memory from the beginning of my life. We were never apart; there’s so much of you in me and there’s so much of me in you.

When we became friends, we didn’t know a lot of things but little did we know, we were going to learn whatever we didn’t know together.
I can’t think of a time I didn’t want you to be around me. Through every milestone, through your worst fears, and through every ridiculous and impulsive decision I’ve ever made, I never once doubted that I wanted you to be there.

At some point we find ourselves intending to hold on to a person; to be loved and to love regardless of it all, to be devoted unmindfully, to find harmony with our surroundings, and when the time comes, to save a secure seat for our funeral. I was so lucky to have all of that with you, naturally given to me by the twists and turns of life.

We went through so much together; songs we can never listen again without crying, the feeling of a void inside of our hearts for people who do out-did themselves to hurt us, and experiences we didn’t deserve to go through at such young age. Now we’re both keeping each other in our minds, a continent away.

Thank you for all that you did for me and all you still do. for having my back when I didn’t deserve to be supported. To shelter me both emotionally and physically. Thank you for trying to keep me calm even though you never succeeded.

Because of you, I never have to doubt being alive. Our memories and our journey to come will keep me going.

I miss you so much.

Come back home.

Sincerely,

-Ghazal
