"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

You’re still around and still with me but I feel like I’ve lost you already.

I fear that one day, I’ll wake up and realize that I have failed to protect you from yourself. I fear that one day, you’ll really go as you hinted you wanted to run away from life.

I don’t want to lose you. You’re one of the reasons I keep going. Sometimes, I, too, want to run away and never look back. But I still have reasons to stay and you’re one of the important people that keeps me grounded.

Please don’t go. Please hold on, even when you feel like letting go. Please live, even when you feel like dying. Because it will get better.

And I am here for you because I love you more than you’ll ever know.
