Laika

are you still up there, laika?

do you know i miss you?

more than anything. more than i can ever explain.

i'm so sorry i was ever rude to you. i should have never yelled.

she wanted to meet you. i wanted her to meet you.

you would have liked her.

okay, that's a lie. she wears glasses. you would have hated her.

i just wish...

i wish i'd protected you, i guess. for as much as it would have changed.

i wish i could go home and play with you.

but you're in the stars now, huh?
