Dear Ben

When will life stop being cruel?

Dear Ben,

I know you said you never wanted to hear from me again. I can still picture your face, how your features twisted as you looked at me — and I want to sob all over again because I never thought I’d see hatred in your eyes. Not directed at me. Never at me.

But I guess life’s full of surprises — even bad ones. We live and learn, right?
