Dear Lauren,

I can't believe that it has been six years since that day. Since you've left this world... I know, you and I were never really close. We had a few classes together, ate lunch at the same table in middle school, and shared a few interests, but I admired you. You were a talented artist and the most beautiful person I knew. Your creativity knew no boundaries. I regret being too shy to talk to you and not being able to attend your funeral. It took me five years to gain the courage to visit your grave... Even to this day, I regret not trying hard enough to be your friend. Though, it's too late for that now. All I can do is write to you in hopes that somehow or in some way, my words can reach you. I want you to know that there are still people that love and miss you. Your family, your friends and the people you've inspired during your life still cherish their memories of you. You are the brightest star in the night sky that we look up with wonder. The angel that looks over us all. We can't change the past no matter how much we want to but we keep you alive in our hearts.

Sincerely.

Capria
