Letters

The letter Teresa wrote to Abel a month after he cheated.

I always stay up late thinking about you. I stay up late thinking about what I could've done differently. I stay up thinking what we could've been. I stay up late wishing I could turn back time. I stay up cursing at the universe for screwing up the timing. I stay wondering if I ever cross your mind. I wonder if you ever dream about me, or your heart skips a beat when you see or hear my name. I stay up waiting for a message or call that will never come. I stay up what we could've been. I stay up wanting you back. I stay up because I miss you. I stay up because I miss hearing your voice. I stay up because I want you to tell me that you want to be with me for one last time.I always stay up late thinking about you. I stay up late thinking about what I could've done differently.

The letter Nathan wrote to Teresa

I hope you fall in love with,

I hope you fall in love with someone who always texts back and never lets you fall asleep thinking you're unwanted. I hope you fall in love with someone who holds your hand during the scary parts of horror movies and burns cookies with you when you're too busy dancing around the kitchen.

I hope you fall in love with someone who sees galaxies in your eyes and hears music in your heartbeats.

I hope you fall in love with someone who tickles you and makes you smile on hard days and on easy ones. But beyond all that I hope you fall in love with someone who will never leave you behind and who will never take you for granted, someone who will stand by you when you're right and stand by you when you're wrong, someone who has seen you at your worst and has loved you still.

I hope you fall in love with someone who kisses you in the rain and hugs you in the cold and wouldn't have you any other way.
