Looking through the drawer of letters he suddenly found another letter that was written on the same day of Rose's accident.

She had actually written two letters that day.

"DEAR JOSH,

I gave up on you.

Not because I stopped loving you nor is it because I was incapable but because I really had enough of every single drama that happened in my life.

I realized that I've been worrying too much about you. I believed you still love me. At least you still have a tiny bit of affection toward me. It can't be gone completely. You probably doesn't know what you really want. Perhaps that is why you're all over the place.

But this isn't what matters. Because what matters is how you react to your confusion. What matters is what you are doing about it. But you did nothing, instead you chose to hurt me. There's no excuse. You chose her over me. And if you are not trying to do anything to fix anything I should probably stop trying to do everything.

I realized that I don't need you. I don't need your time and attention anymore. I once craved for it I admitted. But not anymore. Because I had enough. My level of patience had reached its peak level and it certainly cannot go over that level anymore. I must be an idiot. I really must be an idiot to go out of my way just for you when you didn't even give a damn about how I feel and what I desired.

I don't have any insults for you. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your time and for the good and unforgettable memories. I don't hate you. I still love you I really do. And remember that I don't regret loving you.

But this is the end because one certainly cannot goes on like this anymore. Thank you for teaching me a life lesson and helped me realize how worthy I really am.

Thank you for taking me on a rollercoaster hell of a ride. Thank you for letting me taste the sweet and bitter of life. I have finally realized that I really deserved much more.

I'm at this point of my life where I realized that I have done way too much for someone and that the only sensible step I will be taking next is to stop. I'm not weak but it's just that I knew that I have to draw the line of determination from desperation.

I've finally let it go. Free from a relationship that was once a relationship of love which eventually has turned into a bed of thorns complimented by roses just to make it look pretty so the pain was bearable.

-Love Rose"
