A Love Letter for Lucifer Written
During the V-day
By:

Lucifer,
I assume this is your first time to receive a letter from our species, and I apologize for
the shock. I want to clear as early as now that I am not out of my sanity, if
you think of it that way.
Normally, I start my letters with words like “Greetings
in the name of God” or “Greetings in the name of our Lord” and the like. But
since I am sending this one to you, I know those are very inappropriate, not to
mention infuriating on your part. So allow me to just proceed directly with my
sentiments.
It happens that I am going through a period of
dejection these past days, but it became a relief, though oddly, to think every
now and then about your existence.
This day, in the human world, is a celebration of love.
(I hope you know what that means.) Humans call it “Valentine’s Day”. Take a
look at the earth and you will see couples all over the world kissing and
hugging at every corner, holding each other’s hands, giving gifts to each
other, and all the romantic gestures you could think of. Very unfortunately for
me, I have no one to spend this what supposed to be a beautiful day with.
This thought had almost driven me to tears, and then I
thought of you. I imagined how miserable you have been living your life all
this time, with no person of whom you are the first in the world order; nobody
there to make you feel important. To say the worse, the whole world hates you.
Which now makes us two of the most forsaken beings in the universe.
I am really glad that you have lived. I set down these
words meaning them. Thank you for your mere presence. I am not alone after all.
Yours,
Joana Pagurayan
