i have fallen in love with this letter so many years ago. it was written by a Malaysian artist-film director named Chan. i just stumbled on his blog one chilly December morning. it was so poignant that i was even moved to tears. i even added him in my network of friends in Friendster and he's still in my network but he sort of stopped writing and updating his blog.
so i am [re]-publishing his letter here since blogs are usually for public consumption. in case you're gonna stumble upon my blog mr. Chan, my apologies but i found your letter worthy of re-publication ;)
so here it is. it's time to get emo, in time for the upcoming event this February. by the way, Taylor Swift is gonna be here next month, so better try your luck in case tickets are not yet sold-out..;)
"a love letter"
"By Chan
"Dearest heart,
"It's been a while since we last spoke.
Not over the phone, not over messages, not over emails.
But it's been a while since our hearts spoken to each other.
"I thought of the words to say to you, thought of a thousand possibilities but when i tried to open my mouth, the words fail to come.
"So here i am putting my heart out to you.
"It hurts to be away from you. Not because i can't hold you or be with you.
"You are my other self and i wake up everyday and face the day knowing that two souls are not complete.
"I try to move on with life, but everywhere i turn, everything around me reminds me of you and us. Try as i may, it's hard because every road leads to you.
"I'm learning to love myself a little more everyday, trying to make peace with my inner demons that drove you away...but i cry out for the other self who's so far away.
"Even though i find a little of myself everyday, i still feel lost. For so long you have been my home.
"I long to talk to you again, with my heart, and with my soul.
"If you allow me to, I'll show you the person that you've always believed in and know who's there all the time.
"If you allow me to, please let me show you the way home.
"Missing you, missing us."
