Love is incomplete

Samantha and Ryan had been best friends since they were kids. They grew up together in a small town, spending their days exploring the woods and playing games. As they got older, their friendship only grew stronger. They went to the same high school, and even though they were in different classes, they still hung out every day. One summer, when they were both eighteen, something shifted between them. It was a hot day, and they were swimming in the lake. Samantha looked over at Ryan, and for the first time, she saw him in a different light. He was no longer just her best friend – he was something more. Ryan must have felt the same way, because that night, he kissed her. It was a kiss that changed everything. Samantha knew that she was in love with him, and Ryan felt the same way. For the next few months, they were inseparable. They spent every moment together, exploring their feelings for each other. They talked about their future, about getting married and starting a family. But then, everything changed. Ryan's parents got a job offer in another state, and they had to move away. Samantha was devastated. She didn't know how she was going to survive without him. They promised to keep in touch, and they did. They wrote each other letters every week, and they talked on the phone as often as they could. But as the months went by, their conversations became more strained. They were both busy with school and their own lives, and they didn't have as much time for each other as they used to. One day, Samantha got a call from Ryan's mom. Ryan had been in a car accident, and he was in a coma. Samantha rushed to the hospital, her heart racing. When she arrived, she saw Ryan lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines. For weeks, Samantha stayed by Ryan's side, hoping and praying that he would wake up. But he never did. One day, the doctors told her that they had done everything they could, but Ryan was gone. He had passed away in his sleep. Samantha was devastated. She had lost her best friend, her love, her soulmate. She didn't know how she was going to go on without him. For the next few months, Samantha tried to get back to her normal life, but she couldn't. Everything reminded her of Ryan, and she felt like she was drowning in a sea of grief. She tried to talk to her friends and family, but nobody understood what she was going through. One day, Samantha found a box of letters that Ryan had written to her. She started reading them, and as she did, she felt like Ryan was still with her. She could hear his voice in her head, and she could feel his love in her heart. Samantha decided to write back to him. She poured out all of her feelings, telling him everything that she had been going through since he had died. As she wrote, she felt like a weight was lifting off of her shoulders. Every day, Samantha wrote to Ryan. She talked to him as if he were still alive, telling him about her day, her hopes and dreams, and everything in between. Writing to him became her lifeline, the one thing that kept her going. Years went by, and Samantha kept writing to Ryan. She moved away from their hometown, went to college, and started a new life. But no matter where she went, she always carried Ryan with her. One day, Samantha was cleaning out her closet when she found the box of letters that Ryan had written to her. She started reading them again, and as she did, she realized something
