Open Letter Series I: To Someone I Used to Know

Dear Stranger,

I hate how these past few years
we’ve mutually been reduced
to nothing more than
Facebook likes and the annual
“Happy Birthday, I miss you!”
But you still seem…happy
and that makes me wonder:
would you still be,
if I were a part of your life?

Signed Without wax,
Someone Whose Phone Number 
You Once Remembered

P. S. I may not be important now 
but you once told me your highest hopes 
and your biggest fears. 
I will always have open arms 
and an open heart for you, 
should you ever need them.
