Hey,

So, I'm really, really bad at writing letters, and I know this is really awkward. I've never tried writing something like this. But I tried my best. You've always told me to try my best, so here I am, staring at a blank sheet of paper and trying to put my thoughts into words.

How do I begin?

Remember when I fell down? It was a few years back, so I don't expect you to—but I was clumsy and crashed right into the sand of the beach we were on. And you just laughed, told me to get up and told me that I was fine, and I wondered how someone could have so much positive energy.

And you were there every day. I almost can't believe a life without you existed since then.

There was a myth about shooting stars once. You can make wishes on them and they'll come true, right? I never remembered wishing for you, though. Someone like you who's one in a million and can do anything—it would have been too much to ever wish for.

You're way too kind and it's annoying how you're so good. How do you share so many bits of yourself with everyone and still have so much left over? I don't get it.

People have probably hurt you before. I've probably hurt you before, for some small, nonsensical thing I never noticed. But you keep on smiling, and it's so hard to imagine you sad when you're like this all the time.

You're way out of my league. I think I got that some time ago, but for some reason, I keep coming back to you and you don't seem to mind.

Still, thanks for going along with all of my silly ideas. For squatting next to me in the sand and helping me up when I fell down (again). It means the world to me, even if I don't say it often.

I make lots of mistakes, but having you by my side makes it easier to get back up. You make it seem so easy to just...well, close your eyes and all of a sudden, it's a new day. I envy that.

But thank you.

Promise me you'll keep running with me?

Let's write another story together,

Miya
