You Will Never Know
My Dearest Anna,
I sit back against the wall, with one leg bent so much knee in almost underneath my chin, and the other outstretched. I stare at the wall opposite, and it is just as dark and plain as my future, so I paint it with pictures of you. It's all in my mind of course, but it brightens this cell. Thoughts of you - memories of us - get me through each endless day.
I receive two letters a week, both of which are from you. You always assure me that you have kept your faith, even though I can feel my own slipping away. You always tell me you love me, and you promise that we will be together one day. My heart fills with such pride to know you haven't given up this fight. If only I were as strong as you.
This letter will not find its way back home, to you. I will not even bother to send it. Instead, it will add to the small pile of half-written letters underneath the bed, and I will write another, filled with the words you want to read.
You do not need to know what it is really like in here. It is hell, but you will never know.
