Dear Father, 

There is a girl I love. 

When I look at her I happen to see myself in her.

She too has the scars that still incessantly plague me today.

The lonlieness that flows through my heart, flows through her's as well.

Like me this girl is haunted by her self destructive ways, fearing what she is capable of.

But whenever I see her smile I'm reminded of the happiness we both deserve to attain and have.

And when we're both laughing it feels as though we have escaped into a universe where everything is alright.     

With her I'm no longer the misunderstood, erse, rebellious kid everyone else makes me out to be, with her I'm just happy.

So everyday I go to bed, grateful for having met this wonderful girl who brights up my dreary days with her dazzling, breath taking smile.
