this story is available on my blog! go check it out! (replace ~ with . ) theliterarycove~blogspot~com ---- Dear You, This is my fifth time writing this letter, I'm just not sure what to say. I'm writing to you because these words would be too difficult to say aloud. I'm sorry. It's just happening so quick. When you are reading this, I will be on my way. Knowing you, I can imagine you are ready to burn this letter, but just wait. Please note that my decisions are my decisions only, and do not relate to you in any way at all. Things are different now. I'm a different person than I was all those years ago. I've realized that there is an entire world beyond those walls. I hope you will understand. I'm truly sorry I didn't say good bye, it just seemed too difficult. A letter seemed like the safer option. But I know regret my choice. I am a coward, I'll admit, for running away like this. And I am beginning to regret my choice but there is no turning back. I am sorry, and I hope you will forgive me. But I understand if that is not possible. I am truly sorry. Sincerely, Me
