DEAR SHERLOCK...

this is killing me. it really is.

i wish i could take back the things i told him. i wish i'd never told him in the first place.

i only told him small things - and most of them were just bizarre. he wanted to know what you had eaten for dinner, when the last time you cried was, and how you ironed your shirts...

but i did tell him where you lived. and who you truly cared about.

jesus. writing that down made me realise what i did.

i could say i didn't have a choice - but i did. i could have chosen to keep my mouth shut.

if i had refused to tell him anything, everything would still be the same. i'd be with you right now - both of you. i'd be laughing at some snarky comment you made, listening to you tell me about your cases...all the stuff i'm going to miss the most.

it was my fault all this happened. don't try and convince yourself otherwise.

all i can do is apologise, but i know it's not enough. please, be angry at me. don't hold back out of respect just because i'm dead. anyone else would be too.

yours, val.
