Dear victim,

Tomorrow is the day that you die. Your mom cried while telling me this morning. I didn't bother comforting her, I ran like the coward I am. I found myself at the park we used to meet at. I never did tell you the first time I saw you was here. We were so much younger but I remember it so clearly. I had run away from home again and was crying on a park bench. Then I heard you.
Some bigger kids were picking on a boy at the playground, and there you were screaming at them, your tiny fist raised, ready for a fight.
I remember thinking how brave you were, standing up to them. I've never been brave, i let my mom take all the hits until she was gone and then I took them without a fight.
I wish I had been braver for you, and I wish I could take back all the hurt I gave you.
I'm so sorry I took the fight out of you, you really were something great... and now your gone and it's all my fault.

If I could go back and change everything I would.
Sincerely, your bully
