Dear You,
It's funny, thinking about the first time we met. I feel as if you've always been a part of my life, a part of me. Our lives have meshed so seamlessly, sometimes it's hard for me to tell where I end and you begin. I had been warned of your imminent arrival. I was told in hushed tones of suspicion and doom, your impending presence in our everyday lives was one that was resented, and not especially well received. I had no idea what to expect, but the message was unmistakable: Stay clear, remain invisible. Time passed and it wasn't long before I noticed a strange man walking our corridors; handsome, well dressed, perfectly coiffed hair. When you turned to smile at me, I was immediately struck by the kindness I saw written on your face. Your eyes crinkled up at the corners, extending an invitation for a smile in return. This was the man I was supposed to fear? I had a hard time reconciling myself to feel that way about you. I was intrigued and set about finding out just who you were......
