Letter
A letter, which reads: "Dearest, you don't think of me but I won't let you out of my mind. It has been a while that you stopped writing letters and paying attention to me. In fact, what saved me from the challenges of living in this city was seeing your handwriting, which was better than any blessing. If you knew how much your letters delighted me you would have never stopped writing them and waiting for my response. I wish you live for a thousand years, each with a thousand months, each a hundred thousand years long. With love, me."
