Love Me Like You'Re Losing Mind
Ch10:The Storm Letters
Elowen
You left a drawer open in the study today.
August
Did I? I don’t remember being in there…
Elowen
I found letters. Dozens. All addressed to me. Never sent
August
I… started writing them when I realized I was forgetting things.
Elowen
Some are funny. Some made me cry. One just said: “I’m sorry I’ll leave and won’t know why.”
August
I was scared. Scared you’d hate me when I forgot your voice, your touch, your name.
Elowen
I could never hate you. Even if your eyes forget me, I’ll still be yours.
August
You’re the only thing that feels real when everything else turns to mist.
Elowen
Then promise me something.
Elowen
When the forgetting wins… let me be your beginning
August
And you’ll be my end?
Elowen
No, August. I’ll be the part in the middle and the part that stayed, even when you didn’t.
