Now's your chance to write the letter you never wrote (but wished you would have, could have, should have). To someone who's come and gone, to someone who never came, to someone you've never met. Anyone, anything. As long as it's full of The Feels. (The Feels: A wave of emotion that sometimes cannot be adequately explained). Any emotion goes.
