Hey D,
Near the end, I couldn't help but feel like there was a lot that you kept hidden away inside. I regret that it took me so long to notice. Loss came up a few times in our conversations, and so did mental illness, but you never shared what you had been through. I wish I could have been someone you felt comfortable sharing that vulnerability with, but it's okay.
I know I left, and I worry that deep down, you're taking it pretty hard. I also suspect that you know I'm just a broken person trying to protect myself, just like you, and it's okay.
I meant every word I said in our last exchange of texts. Truthfully I'm a bit hurt that you didn't say goodbye. Maybe you didn't ever care, or you thought we'd meet again someday, or you felt abandoned and struggle with goodbyes. Whatever the reason, it's okay.
Thank you for being in my life for the past 6 months, I'll always have a place in my heart for you. I appreciate the space right now, but... feel free to reach out in a few months. Or don't. I can live with both, seriously. It's okay.
