I still think about the letter you asked me to write. It nags at me, even though you're gone and there's no one to give it to anymore.

It's all still there, like a movie I can watch when I want to. Which is never.

A letter is paradoxically the most revealing and the most deceptive of confessional revelations.

Women made the coffee while the others did the talking; they were the ones who typed the letters.

His gaze wandered from the windows to the stars, as if he would have read in them something that was hidden from him. Many of us would, if we could; but none of us so much as know our letters in the stars yet - or seem likely to do it, in this state of existence - and few languages can be read until their alphabets are mastered.
Charles Dickens
