My dearest one,

I don’t know where you are,
Or where you will be going.
But I know where you have been.

You have been lonely.
You have been languid.
You have been lost.

I don’t know what to call you,
Or what you will be called by others.
But I know who you are.

You are observant.
You are optimistic.
You are obliging.

I don’t know why you left,
Or what you took with you.
But I know what you carry.

You have vision.
You have victory.
You have vulnerability.

I don’t know how this will reach you,
Or if you’ll even read it.
But I know you.

You are educated.
You are enthusiastic.
You are enough.

Sincerely,
Your soul
