GONE - 28

'You probably want an explanation. I know you should've gotten one before I left, but I couldn't do that.

If I spoke to you face-to-face, you'd probably persuade me to stay. I didn't want that, it wasn't fair to you.

Here goes:

My grandma died. You know how close I was to her; she practically raised me when mum and dad were out on business trips nearly all the time. She gave me killer advice, one being to ask you out before she dies. Her exact words were, 'I'm not getting any younger, you willy! Ask her.'

When she breathed her last breath though, I realised something. Everyone leaves. Sure, that is obvious since we are born to die, but they do.

People long to find their soul mate who they will spend eternity with, but in actual fact there's no point. Everyone will go. Even your soul mate. Nothing lasts forever and I hate that.

I realised that we probably weren't forever.

Was I crazy at this point? Maybe. But I needed to go. I needed to recollect myself. I needed to re-think my life and the promise I made to my grandma to be with you.

I love you, there's no doubt about that. But what if love isn't enough?

What if there is no commitment and we both come tumbling down? We aren't superheroes, we aren't magical beings. We are humans who make mistakes. Who change.

I went because you don't need me. I was only holding you back to find someone who wouldn't be afraid. So I went and that's where I am now.

Leaving you is the biggest regret ever.'

I erased the last sentence of the text to Emma.

I then proceeded to click send. Message not delivered.

Maybe fate doesn't want her to see this.
