Charlie's Last Letter

Charlie's Last Letter

Let's drive

I don't know if I will have the time to write anymore letters

Because I might be too busy trying to participate

So if this does end up being the last letter

I just want you to know that I was in a bad place

Before I started high school

And you helped me

Even if you didn't know what I was talking about

Or know someone who's gone through it

You made me not feel alone

Because I know there are people

Who say all these things don't happen

And there are people who forget

What it's like to be sixteen when they turn seventeen

And know these will all be stories someday

And our pictures will become old photographs

And we'll all become somebody's mom or dad

But right now these moments are not stories

This is happening

I am here and I am looking at her

And she is so beautiful

I can see it

This one moment when you know you're not a sad story

You are alive

And you stand up and see the lights on buildings

And everything that makes you wonder

When you were listening to that song

On that drive with the people you love most in this world

And in this moment I swear we are infinite
