Damian

I'm 17, and my boyfriend has been serving in the army for nine months now. We kept in touch and wrote letters to each other, but then he suddenly disappeared. But I still write to him, waiting and hoping to see him soon.

But it turned out that my boyfriend found someone else, and he didn’t even pick up my letters from the post office and they ended up in the hands of the major general.

In my next letter, I wrote how much I loved him and dreamed of seeing him soon. I told him how school was going, how the kids were doing, and all the news.

But the letter ended up back in the hands of Major General Damian. He'd been receiving my letters for months, reading them, but never replying. He simply liked the way I wrote, the way I told everything so sincerely, conveying every emotion onto a piece of paper, the sweet way I called someone, even unaware of their betrayal.
