That night, he opened the letter again.
“Emma…
If you’re reading this, then maybe I wasn’t brave enough to tell you the truth.
I didn’t leave because I stopped loving you…
I left because I loved you too much.
The doctors told me I was sick…
And that time wasn’t on my side.
I didn’t want you to watch me fade away…
I didn’t want to be the reason for your pain.
So I chose to disappear…
So you could hate me, instead of seeing me weak.
I’m sorry…
I love you… always.”
