Hey, I'm writing a letter, and it's for you.
I'm sorry I forgot your name, but your face feels familiar.
I don't know when or where we met, but I think we both know we both knew.
So I'm writing this letter, and it's for you.
I have one main point, and I won't make it long — because I know you're already skipping lines.

It's not okay. It won't be alright.
You have a hurricane going on in your mind.
Don't tell me I'm wrong — I can see it in your eyes.
You'll probably have to swim across a sea, climb a mountain maybe.
I know you don't think it will be fine.
I don't think it will be either.
But I can tell you one thing:

I love you. I see you.
And I know that everyone sees light at the end of the tunnel.
Because every cave has an opening and an exit.
If you don't have an exit, go back — it's fine.
Sometimes we have to take two steps back to take one forward.
And there's nothing wrong with that.

An ocean has many secrets.
A cave has many turns.
Life has many chapters.
But it's okay if you need to go back and reread a page just to pass a test.
That's why we have second chances.
Don't be afraid to be a step behind someone else.
Because the best books are longer.
The best books we want to reread.
The best books we might need a recap for — just to continue the story.

That's all I wanted to tell you.
I hope you understand. But I love you. Don't forget that.
