dear cassie,

I talked about you today

my friends Cisco and Caitlin asked about you

Cisco is a goofball, geeky but pretty awesome

you and him would get along pretty well

Caitlin is really smart, she's really sweet

you and her would be close, you're a lot alike

they said they would have loved to meet you and I'm sure you would have loved that, too

but the point is that I talked about you

it's been a long time since I've done that

it made me smile, telling them funny memories and everything I loved about you

when I talked about you, it felt like you were still with me
sitting beside me, laughing over the stupid things we've done

god, I miss you.

love, Barry
