Dear Katelynn,
I really miss you.
Every time I try not to think about you, to push those thoughts away, it feels like there's a wild beast lurking in my heart, struggling to break free. I've realized that if I keep bottling these feelings up, one day they're just going to explode. Each attempt to stop missing you only makes it worse. I miss you so fiercely, so desperately, that I feel like a powerless creature that can't figure out how to love you calmly.
Our parting hit me hard. My life before you felt like a still, lifeless lake—calm and unchanging. But when you came into my life, the one who could stir the depths of my heart, I discovered how many unacknowledged emotions lay hidden beneath that placid surface. The beast that had been suppressed finally found a way to claw its way out, only to be mercilessly shoved back down by the weight of reality.
