Dear Flute,

 

From the moment

I entered 6th grade

And laid my hands on the glossy body of you

I knew one thing was real:

 

I fell in love with you

 

A love so strong that I was determined to give you my all

From my aching fingers and lips

To my mind and endurance

 

As an 11-year-old girl

With a strong connection to you

I never stopped loving you

For my love only got stronger

 

So I played

Morning and night

Before school and after

I dedicated myself

To playing your beautiful songs

I gave you my heart

Because I never saw the end

 

You make me feel alive and full of joy

 

Now I have fully grasped you

And I can never let you go

When I journey through difficulties and hard times

You will be there for me

 

When stress comes tumbling in

I will unlatch your sleek black case

And turn into that 11-year-old with big dreams

Who laid her hands on your gleaming figure

 

Then I will pick you

And play with a burning love

I will never give up

So we will sing your songs until your last breath

 

Thank you for guiding me, Alexis
