Dear Mr. Tomorrow (English Comp)

Mr. Tomorrow

14s 200w                      

City of Dreams, USA

Dear Mr. Tomorrow,

I am writing to you with concern.  I am concerned that we will never be together.   Please allow me to elaborate, life is like a box of chocolates... umm no it’s more like a merry-go-round.  As soon as you get close to what you want it disappears around the corner and when you see it again you are never any closer than when you started.

Even if we were to meet it would only be in something as fragile as a dream. All we would have time for is a faint smile and then you would be gone around the corner again.

 

With that being said I have come to a conclusion that all we have is today.  

See you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Beach
