Letters I Never Sent

Shadow of Eagle

I wrote a thousand letters

but never posted a single one.

They were never meant to reach you

they were meant to save me.

Each one held the weight

of everything I couldn’t say aloud.

Pain wrapped in silence,

truth hidden between trembling lines.

I folded them with care,

sealed them with the tears I never showed,

and tucked them away

like secrets no one should find.

They sit in the corners of my soul,

collecting dust and meaning,

proof that I once felt deeply

even when the world stayed quiet.

And though you’ll never read them,

they are real.

More real than your goodbye.

When they act like they don't want you, believe it. No need for reassurance.

I often think about death. As peaceful as my day to day is, blissfully ignorant, I still haven’t come to terms with death. I often procrastinate tasks, delay work and miss out on opportunities out of fear and embarrassment. It’s terrifying to think that one day I might not wake up; that I could get hit by a car on my way to school or stabbed on the way back. That statistically, I won’t have my ideal death by old age on the porch in eighty years with you.

I’m writing this to you in case the mathematically probable hell that I just described happens. I’m on my knees, looking up at you with open arms, inviting you not to eighty years that we’re never promised to me in the first place, but to 29,000 (more or less) todays. Forgive me for holding you for five minutes too long on the freezing walks to your door we share. But I’m not sorry really. Every single day until my bones give out, I will kiss you as if it were the last time; I can only ever give you the kisses of today in case tomorrow’s are taken from me.

Your love, now and forever, until death do us part and after that too,

Gabriel.

I have given myself the liberty to be ruined by you.

Cassandra is making a point with all these unsent letters, to represent how much Kit still wants to be friends with Ty, but that he fights against that want with everything he has (because of shame, pride, anger and all those things this post isn't about) It shows he puts as much physical distance as he can because if he let Ty in, it would be impossible to suppress his feelings anymore. That if he let Ty into his life, he won't be able to push him out again.

I have been a little off balance since the day I met you . This is because I had never known what it is like to be perfectly aligned

I'm quiet, but it doesn't mean I don't care. I'm quiet, but it doesn't mean I'm not worried about you. I just haven't fully understood what you want from me yet.

I just don't want to make the same mistake again.

[duchesswhitepeony]

I guess moving on still means, "You'll always be a part of me."
