Letters from near & far: 3

A series of fictional postcards

I see you everywhere I look. In the corner of my eye you are just the same, a glint in your eye and your lips twisted into a smile. But I can never reach you. However fast I run you are three steps ahead. Always out of reach. Taunting me that I can never be as good as you were. Judging me for all my mistakes. Especially the one that cost you everything. 

I wanted to make memories with you, the kind that would last. But things got out of hand. This wasn't the situation I intended. All I wanted was to explain what I could do and show you the world. We could have had the most amazing time together. But I understand how overwhelming and frightening it must have been. I'm still the same person I always have been, just a little bit more than you knew. I never meant to hide it from you.
