Description Dear friend. I still have the keys you gave me. I saved everything. It is a symptom of my illness infection. But I am getting better. There is something that I must tell you. I hope you can understand. Sometimes when I know you are not home, I enter your apartment. It pleases me to see it is just as I remember it. I saw your new blue sweater. How lovely you must look wearing it. There was a letter from some man whose name was unfamiliar on your desk. I wonder who he is. Once I placed my head on your pillow, where you sleep. I could still smell your hair. I want.
