Dear Death:
I was going to tell you to leave me alone forever, but I know all that’s going to do is hurt your feelings. I was going to tell you to leave me and my loved ones alone till we are old and cynical, but I know all that’s going to do is mess with your tight schedule. I don’t want you around, I’m not going to lie and tell you I do. Me and life get along better when you aren’t close to us. Death, you have the power to cause havoc everywhere you go. I know you didn’t ask for it, you just got the short straw when names were being drawn, and tasks being assigned. Of course this doesn’t mean I forgive you for everything you have done to me and life. However, it means I understand you are constantly trying to ruin the friendship I have with life so there’s more room for you. Our connection is definitely there, and it always will be, but for now, I need a break. You’re hard to deal with most of the time, and I never seem happy when you hang around. I promise when you come to meet me, on the day I have been scheduled in, I will not turn you away or fight you. Instead I promise to welcome you and follow you wherever you intend to take me.
Love, Tiana
Dear Time:
You seem to slip through my life way too quickly. I’m sorry I don’t ever seem to appreciate you until you have moved on. I’m sorry I don’t notice you when I’m having fun, but when life gets boring, you become my favourite companion to pay attention to. But most of all, I’m sorry for how much I hate you sometimes. How you seem to eat away at the things I call mine, working closely with death to take away things and people in my life forever. You are the most beautiful destroyer, but you are also the most beautiful healer. Time, you help with my wounds, not in the magical-now-their-gone type of way. Instead, you help make them less prominent. You help me get over grief and grudges, simply by giving me your company and letting me work through it on my own, you will stay as long as I need you to. So yes, I might hate you sometimes, but I promise, you will always be important to me, even when me and life are having fun and I seem to forget about you, I promise I’ll always be checking on you every once and awhile.
Love, Tiana
Dear Life:
You and I are the best of friends. I was a forced relationship at first, I don’t know about you but I didn’t really have a say in if we were going to be friends or not. But look at us now. I’m grateful this relationship has blossomed to what it is today. Believe it or not, I have decided to forgive death and time for trying to poke holes in our friendship. I know it’s a hard thing for you to do, especially when they seem to take away many of your other close friends, I think you should try and forgive them too. I’m sorry for the times i told you I didn’t want to pursue this relationship any longer, it was selfish and I wasn’t considering how you would feel. I know you’ll forgive me, I’m just a little scared for the day you stop trying to keep this friendship alive and it fizzles out. You mean a lot to me, thank you for all of the memory’s you have helped me make and all the things you have helped me do, I will truly treasure them forever.
Love, Tiana
