truth is nothing. what you believe to be true is everything.

dear emma,

those two words, "dear emma" take me away to another time when we used to write to each other after mom and dad died. i used to tell you about my new friends and my new life, and you used to tell me about the great time my mom and dad were having in heaven. truth is nothing. what you believe to be true is everything. and the main thing that i used to believe was that i will be with you for ever. forever. the reason for taking me this long to write to you is that i see i've been a fool. i was spending my life fooling myself. every letter i've been writing to you was a love letter. how could it've been anything else? i can see now that all of them - except this one - were bad love letters. bad love letters beg for love back. good love letters ask for nothing. this - i'm please to announce -, is my first good love letter to you. because there's nothing more for you to do. you've already done everything. i have enough of you in my head that last forever. so please don't worry about me. i'm peachy. really am. i have everything. if i had one wish it would be that life brings back the taste of the happiness you were to me. that you can feel what it's like to love.

your friend forever,

will
