Lily's Forest

Line of Duty

My dearest Lily,

I won't ever send this letter despite all the ones we've shared in the past. Things are different. I'm home now, something else I won't tell you. War changes everyone, that's no secret, but some changes can't be hidden. I am no longer the man I was and you, my beautiful Flower, deserve more. Better. I wish I'd said goodbye in our last exchange . . . told you how much you mean to me. You once mentioned writing to other soldiers, but I hope I was your favorite. You were definitely mine.

All my love, Forest

Dear Forest,

Did you just ghost me? By letter? And actually mail it? Oh, heck no. We have plans, soldier.

Still yours, despite being angry, Lily
