Hello,

I am writing to you to express what I’ve never been able to do before.

After all these years, I feel that I’ve been subject to a complete blindness that obscured one of the most wonderful things. You.

Today, and only today, I can acknowledge that it’s thanks to you that I often left home and journeyed to incredible places, it’s thanks to you that I lived and can now reminisce about the beautiful nights until sunrise and the long, breathtaking walks that only ended when our topics of conversation ran dry. I remember the day you took me to the summit of that imposing mountain just so I could witness the sunset like I’d never seen before, do you recall?

I also recall all the marathons we undertook watching great concerts, jumping to rhythms that only the two of us know. And in the end, after long hours, you would still take me wherever I asked so that I could rest. I worried very little about you, and I am ashamed of myself.

But the worst of it all is that you did all this for me (and much more!) and I always looked at you with the desire for you to be different, more appealing, more in the light of what I would consider perfect. I was never able to give you the true value you deserved. I was never able to recognize that much of my happiness was precisely because of you.

For all of this, I sincerely apologize. I promise that from today onwards, I will look at you with immense gratitude for everything you’ve allowed me to experience.

Dear Feet, I love both of you.
