Jahseh Onfroy,

As your reading this right now, your coloring in one of the coloring books you brought for us. I apologize for not telling you sooner, but I didn't want you to worry too much about me. You worry too much....honestly. Tell me my love why do you think I gave
inadequate responses to you as I laid in the hospital? Think about it. I wanted to tell you everything but knowing what kind of a person you are, you would have been heart broken. You don't know how thankful I am for you visiting me on my last days and making me happy. Before I take my last breath I will say a small prayer for you not to forget me. I gave you the necklace because I love elephants and I value them for being big beautiful animals who gets frightened by the smallest things.

That elephant is you Jahseh Onfroy,  not saying that your terrified by little things of course but you seem to look apathetic but really you mean no harm. I hated to admit that I'm in love with you.  And the day you kissed me made me feel sick, like love sick.

At school whenever I used to see you my heart would beat rapidly and I didn't know what the feeling was until my mom told me how she felt about my father. The same exact way I knew I was in love with you.

I couldn't tell you how I was feeling because I don't how to communicate. So I thought it would be easier for me to let my feelings float out on this paper. I knew my death was imminent so I had to leave something for you.

I know your wondering how I died,  and it was because of a tumor. A tumor that could kill me immediately if I were to get surgery.

I didn't intend on leaving the world like this, I didn't even know about the tumor myself. The car accident was because on my behalf of not knowing that life is the most valuable thing.

God,if only I could have lived a bit longer to hear your voice. Or if I could feel your kiss planted on my lips one last time I would be overall satisfied.

Reading Romeo & Juliet made me realize how young and stupid they were. Yet,they both did things for each other.

Jahseh,you are an essential milestone in my life.

I love you my love.
