Letters

Remember that place, dear Anna, where we could sit and talk?

I can almost smell the roses now! I wish we could go back to those times!
The wind was soft in your blond hair! Nothing was as complicated as it is now!
The tree in the top of the hill would smile at us on the sunset! I miss it!

I could describe by heart the clouds in the sky the day you said the words! I never thought you'd agree with your family so promptly!
The sky was light blue! They said we could never meet again!
The clouds looked so comfortable! They said I was no good for you!
The sun was soft in our skin! They said you'd never be happy with someone like me!
The grass was greener as ever! You didn't even look at my face!
The flowers I gave you so many times, gently rocking in the wind! They seemed ashamed of you!

You might not believe me, but I cried! You broke my heart!
You did what your family wanted you to do! You judged me by my looks! You judged me by my family! You judged me by my skin!

I thought you were better than that!

I could have given you an honored life! I could love you for the rest of time! But you chose him over me!

Him! That by all means is only interested in your parents money!
Him! That could easily leave you behind once he sucked all your strength!
Him! So regular, so common!

You surprised me!
I could never expect something like this from you!


From the person who loved you!
And still do!

Robert.

Dear Robert,

Remember that place, where the moon could shine even brighter than the sun?

I remember how we felt like children when my parents would come looking for me! I remember how bad you were at hiding! I remember how fast you could jump behind the bush when my Mom would arrive! I remember how bad it felt not saying goodbye, even though I knew I'd find you there in the next day!

Yes, Robert, I remember it all! And I miss it too!

I'm afraid some matters were left unsolved. And now it's time to set things right!

I'm deeply sorry that I made you feel like this.

But it was already time for me to grow up. I knew that day would come, and I didn't care at all. Being with you was like a fairy tale!
We could pretend we'd be alright.
But we wouldn't!
We could pretend life wasn't cruel.
But it is!
We could plan our future together.
But it would never be more than that. Plans!

Our lives were never meant to entwine!
But they did. And we suffered the consequences.

The pain you feel, I've already learned how to deal with it.

Yes, Robert, I chose him over you! But you are wrong about one thing.

It's not him that's trying to drain my parents wealth.
My parents are not as rich as you think they are, in fact we lost almost all our money.
And as if it wasn't bad enough, my dad got sick! And we didn't have a single penny to pay for his medicines! I was the only way to save his life.

I hope you understand my situation, and don't resent me for leaving you that way!

I would never judge someone for the color of the skin! Even tough my parents do.

I left you for better reasons than myself! I hope you understand this.

I'm sorry. But I'd rather you didn't write me a letter anymore.
I don't miss you!

Affectionately,
Anna.

Dear Robert,

I lied!

I love you!

Anna.
