Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 36

I went to sit beside his bed. "Why does it have to be like this...", while I hold his hand.

Then I decided to write a letter to him so when he wakes up, he can read it.

The letter:

Dear Cameron,

How are you? I hope you have been well.As soon I heard that you were injured in the car accident, I rushed to the hospital to look for you.

I saw that you were in a badly injured.Especially seeing the bandages around your head and just by looking you in that situation, I just feel so wrong and I could feel guilt surrounding me.

Another thing I just realized something, the meaning of love. That love is not just about happy endings, but pain. The pain that we care for them. The pain that you feel when they are not there.

And do you remember when I shut you out? I didn't even mean that. The moment I shut you out I cried that even Rick was very shocked.

At first, I thought to make you leave out of my life, was a solution to my problems and the emptiness inside me. But I was wrong. It even made me worse.

But to be honest, from all over the years, I've always wanted you to be at my side. The time when I saw you again, I felt like I wanted to tell you about just everything. But then, I remembered, it is not the same again, you and me, we aren't the same anymore.

I've always thought about what life is, and why does it happen? Why can't happiness last forever? Sometimes in life, we encounter failures and this is normal. This is called the process of "trying". And there, we will know our mistake to improve it.

Love,

Evelyn.

And I folded the letter nicely and put it on the table beside his bed and I left. Just like that.
