"Here before us lie two letters." A man, wearing a black suit and tie tells the other. "They were sent by a couple, each sent to the other person." The second man had yet to say a word since entering the first's office. "They arrived on the same day. It's quite a sad story; would you like to read them still?" The second man nodded, tears blurring his vision. "Well, if you insist."

I'm beyond your reach.
You were always so far away.
You can't save me.
And rarely was it literally.
I'm too far gone.
I did my best, you have to understand that.
There's no point in trying.
I never wanted us to end up like this.
All you'll do is get hurt.
I didn't want to leave you.
Why fight against the impossible?
You just left me no choice.
Then again, that's all we were ever doing: fighting the impossible.
I could only ever try my best.
There was no way we could work.
There was no way I alone could save you.
I think we both knew that.
What did you want me to do?
And I think that's why this shouldn't hurt you.
What more could I have done?
We were doomed from the start.
You need to tell me, so maybe we can fix this.
You said so yourself.
I never meant anything I said to hurt you.
So, why should it hurt?
I was just so frustrated.
You knew I'd leave.
You never gave me a chance to help you.
It's just- I haven't left in the way you're thinking of.
And so I had to leave.
I'm dead.
I needed you to understand that you had to give me a chance.
I'm gone, forever.
I can't save you if you don't let me.
And there's no way you can undo that.
I only ever wanted to love you.
Just move on.
I wanted you to be the one I spent my forever with.
Go to someone who deserves you.
We could still have that forever, if you just talk to me.
I didn't.
I love you with all my heart.
I never deserved anything.
Please, let me prove it to you.
I was just a waste of your love; a waste of your precious time.
I promise you I will never hurt you again.
There are so many people out there that deserved your love and your time.
I never even meant to hurt you.
I didn't deserve it.
There's no one else I could love as much as I love you.
I was doomed to this fate with or without your love.
You're my sun and moon.
So don't mind me, it's not your fault.
You're my fucking everything.
You did nothing but prolong my life.
I'm so sorry I never told you that enough.
If anything, you saved me.
I knew how broken you were, and I never showed you the love you deserved.
You let me find a temporary happiness.
I knew it always made you so happy when I complemented you.
But that's all it was: temporary.
The way your cheeks would turn red with a blush.
This is no solution to this.
You're eyes would light up enough to fill any infinite darkness.
There's no magical pill that could have saved me.
But it would always fade as quickly as it appeared.
And there's nothing you could've done to stop this.
I should have paid more attention to that.
So just move on, give up on us.
I will always pay more attention to that, I swear.
There wasn't ever much for us anyway, and there's plenty more out there for you.
Please, darling, just give me a second chance.
Live to your fullest potential, I certainly did.
I want us to last forever.
