Such dark humor

If I ever make a book,

I'll make it full of the letters I've gotten over the years.

Then I'll let you read them -

you'll understand why I've never spoken of those words

- and you'll either

cry for the pain,

laugh at the foolishness,

or feel envious for what I don't recognize to be special.

Either way -

I hope you find sadness reassuring more than I can ever be.
