I'm sorry

6 months ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I guess everything changed from then. I was too weak to swim, all my dreams were crushed in that hospital room. I remember the look of pure devestation on Makotos face that day, it completely broke my heart.

Knowing I was going to die started to dawn on me during the first week. Knowing that in a few months... I would leave Makoto.

Since my family were away travelling, they weren't able to visit me. Since I never told them.

I don't know what thoughts were running through my head the third week, though I can tell it wasn't happy. I don't know if I had accepted I was going to die.

Maybe I knew that one day this day would come, even if I didn't get cancer. Maybe I would've been too sad to even think that.

Ever since I turned 15, I had been feeling down. Ever since I turned 16, I started hurting.

But Makoto never saw, I never let him in. But Makoto being Makoto got concerned, though I just brushed him off.

Because I was sad, I started having dark thoughts. Because of cancer I started having thoughts about death.

Although I knew I couldn't be saved, for some reason I still had a shred of hope I could survive. Although I couldn't be happy, I still tried.

I guess these are my last words. I'm getting weaker and weaker, I can hardly speak nevermind walk. Please, forget and move on. I don't matter anymore. This is the universe telling me I should die.

I love you
