In some alternate universe, maybe we could have been friends.

I wouldn't have had to have died, and you would have been able to live long enough to see me survive. We could have worn our daisy crowns from here to the end of the world. We could have grown to see the country rebuild itself. We could have helped.

I watched you on the screens. People thought I was watching my sister, my dear, dear, sister who had sacrificed herself for me so bravely, but it was you I held my breath for.

It was you I cried for when she made up your resting place. You looked very pretty, lying there, dead. It made me happy, in a way, to know that I wouldn't be alone when they got to me too.

We little girls can go to heaven. We can make daisy crowns for ourselves and be Princesses, running around without a care in the world.

Death wasn't the worst thing that happened to me. It was just a mode of transportation to meeting you.
You, who are now the centre of my...existence.

Heaven isn't perfect. But I think it can be. I just need to say the right thing...

I love you.
