The way I used to live was pathetic.
I never really slept, I didn't really eat, I was alone.
The only consolation was some random girl I met at a bar or shopping in Atlantis.
I don't think I intendedto live like that. I mean, in those human TV shows we used to watch together, living like this seemed like a lot of fun.
But I think I started to act reckless, as if I didn't care about anything, when you and him started dating.
We were always meant for each other. And I think you've always known that.
He may be perfect, but he's not perfect for you.
Anyways, when you two started going out, part of me just shut down. It was like there was a hole in my heart where you used to be.
We still talked, Sure, but you were a lot more distant. Maybe it was because he felt I was a risk to you two. Maybe you just spent all your time with him. I don't really know.
All I know is that I was like Candleshade; empty, hollow, yet filled with everything I don't need that will never really fill the hole.
But now, we live together by the ocean, and I'm full. So is our house. There's no vacancy in me anymore, or in our home.
We have the most beautiful children. I feel like they grow an inch a week. But maybe that's just me not wanting to let them go.
They look like you. Lily has your beautiful eyes. Markus has your hair. Eliza has your personality. When I look at them, it's like I'm looking at mini yous.
I love the life that we built together.
And I love you.
You make me the happiest person alive.
You changed my life. You make me better.
Happy 100th anniversary!
Love ya, Keefe.
