Dear Universe

     

Dear Universe,

If you have the time, please answer my questions.

What is your

favorite color? (Mine is orange)

Do you like

things salty or sweet?(I love sweet)

Have you ever

Love? (Yes)

                                                                 Has your

I will not ask why you do the things you do.

I do not want to know

 

What happens,

After life. Death is inevitable,

I will find out one day.

 

Maybe someone was cruel to you

Too.

 

Maybe,

If someone asked you how your day was,

Instead of

What the secret to life was,

 

Maybe,

Just maybe,

If someone was kind to the

Universe,

The Universe would be kind

Too.
