You know all the words you wish you were brave enough to say? The words you should've said before it was too late? And the letters you sent that didn't arrive on time? These are it. Some day, one soul out of the seven billion in this world will touch you in all the ways you cannot explain; in all the places hands cannot touch, and where lips cannot kiss. This is my way of trying make love to the wonderful memories of a tumultuous ride and to justify the burn of a dead flame. The Letters You Left Behind is a collection of short pieces by Ming D. Liu.
