A/N This is a sequel to "Dear Future Me" you do not have to read to understand, but it will probably be better if you did.
Dear Future, Future Me,
The sun was bright and hot, like a fire in the hearth. Warming the Earth, the air, the water. Sunrays dripping golden onto my skin, setting it aglow. I felt the warmth in every tender patch. There were times when the warmth was stolen, blown out like a candle, but it always returned, happiness. The trees were shook, tussled by the warm summer breeze. The light was always there, until the day dark crawled over. I was scared of the dark, when it first grabbed my hand, but it's fingers were soft, cold yes, but gentle. And then I noticed the light, pale and soft, glowing weakly but there all the same.
I returned the touch, the gesture, my fingers tightening. The pale light, surrounded by darkness, cowered in fear, when I held on firm. It tried to pull it's hand back, you tried to pull your hand back. I could see it in your eyes, you were scared of me. No, scared of what I represented. You thought you didn't deserve it, and for the first time, I didn't want the candle to burn quite so brightly, pushing you out. I wanted you to stay, I wanted to hold you, to make it so you didn't have to be afraid. The only way I could see your light was because you were cradled by the dark, sliding into it's cold hands like an infant might. The dark was not bad, the dark was needed at times. But I wanted to yank you from the dark, bring you into my arms where the light could shine on you. But I understood your apprehension. Maybe you thought if you came to the sun, your light would be crushed by the others.
Come with me.
You didn't answer, your eyes afraid. I pulled you forward, and you struggled at first, trying to pull back. But I wouldn't let you go and eventually you gave in, following me. The darkness followed you, but as long as I was there, I wouldn't let it touch you.
I will hurt you in the end.
You were always concerned with that. I ignored your advice and kept on pulling you, away from the dark, away from it's cold, gentle hands that coddled you falsely. I should've known it would catch up. But I wasn't prepared for you to be yanked away from me, I wasn't prepared for the darkness to swallow you whole, and I wasn't prepared for it to come for me.
I tried to run, but it caught me too, swallowed me whole, suffocating, painful, it almost made me wish I'd never taken your hand and shown you my world.
But the candle blown out, had always lit again. When I opened my eyes the darkness had faded. I saw your pale glow again, darker than before, sadder than before, hopeless. But it was still there. YOU were still there and I reached for you again. I couldn't help it, you were right there, and I wanted to help you. I touched you and you turned to me, so surprised, yanking your hand back, burned by fire.
Come with me.
And again you looked afraid. Different, wiser, stronger, but still afraid. And I couldn't blame you. I grabbed your hand again, gentler this time. You shivered, stepping towards me. It surprised me, I thought you'd pull away, but you didn't. Your arms circled around me, welcoming the light you had denied yourself for so long. I couldn't help my heart speeding up from your touch. My eyes widening, I returned your hold, my warmth wrapping around you, and you grasped on tightly, afraid.
But for a different reason. Before you looked afraid to follow, and now, you were afraid to let go, and I couldn't blame you. I was scared too. I could feel tears in my eyes, you were very cold, but I could feel you getting warmer.
I showed you my world and you showed me yours, and now we could fit comfortably in each other's arms. I wasn't lying when I told you I loved you. Even if we were worlds apart, even if we were different people. Even if I was the sun and you were the moon we held on tight, enjoying the eclipse, while it lasted.
Sincerely,
Me
