Out of nowhere, a message in a bottle.
The letter that never came
finally arrived.
I waited for that letter for six years.
And as soon as I got it,
I realized I hadn’t been waiting for it
for a while now.
The way is shut.
You know what you do when a ghost comes back into your life?
You remember it’s a ghost. It’s unliving. It’s not real.
And you move on.

The way is shut.
You know what you do when a ghost comes back into your life?
You remember it’s a ghost. It’s unliving. It’s not real.
And you move on.
