To. You
From. The Young One
If I die young, I'd hope you wouldn't cry for me. I died in the good part of my life.
The part where life is still exciting. The part where we as young people believe dreams come true and where every moment is a chance to fall in love
If I die young I ask forgiveness from the people I love and loved. I know at some point or another I've hurt you, let you down and acted selfishly.
I should have told you sooner how much I love you and how much I appreciate every aspect of who you are.
Its sad how we spend our lives talking but never say the important things that truly matter. I'm sorry for all the times I didn't listen to every word you didn't say. I'm sorry I didn't catch the hidden words you tried to say. It was my mistake and I regretfully wish I had listened more closely.
To my enemies after I am dead I'm sure you will rejoice victoriously over my demise. To you I send my true and sincere apologies.
I hurt you, weather intentionally or unintentionally I hurt some part of you and I am sorry for that. At this point my dislike for you is gone and I see plainly all that I have done to you. For this I am sorry.
Once I am gone this letter will lie between the pages of my life, forgotten and lost, but know I meant every word.
Because if I die young I won't get to tell you any of this.
To my young admirers who want to be just like me someday. Take heed to these words I write to you. Please be everything I wasn't. Listen to the silence, pray for true peace and love your enemies, even if they strike out and hurt you. Know that they don't mean to, its their nature its how they keep themselves safe.
Wash you hands of shame and regret and reach out in love. Live longer than me and build a legacy that I could not build.
If I die young, know that I died very much alive. Know that I died with a dream in my mind and foolishly believing I was in love. If I die young know that I loved you with all my heart and I hoped for so much more time with you.
But perhaps I won't get to be so lucky tp spend the rest of my life being near you. Because I might die young and leave you here alone.
Yes I died young but I died with love in my heart and around me and that's all I could have wished for.
I love you
From
~The Young One~
