The Letter

April 16th, 1992

Ethan,

I know it's been awhile since we last talked. I know you still might not understand why I left. I needed to find myself, and I needed to figure out what makes me happy before I could do that for anyone else. I'm really sorry about how it all went down, but it was something that I didn't think could be fixed at the time. We're perfectly wrong for each other, but that's what made it so hard to walk away. I wish we could be fixed. Maybe we still can someday. I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry, and I wish I could go back in time and do a better job at trying to fix us. We were perfectly imperfect, but that's what made us so authentic. So real. I can't say I don't think about you, because frankly I've been thinking about you a little too much lately. I miss you. Maybe we can talk soon, or catch up. I've just been having a really rough time without you in my life. The only problem is that I don't know if it'll be better or worse. I'm just being honest. I still think it's worth a cup of coffee.

Call my house if you want. I'm sure your mom has the number by now. If not, I'll list it below just in case.

Sincerely,

Emma
