I am sorry to have been complicit in destroying your life. The knowledge that being with me was standing in the way of what will make you happy makes me incredibly…well…sad.

Because being with you brought so much joy for me. There is nothing I would love more than to have more moments with you. But not at the expense of your happiness.

So how do I square that? I suppose the answer is that I don’t square it. I feel both things at the same time. I am sorry for ruining your life. I also wish I could go back in time and experience it all again.

Every time you called me, my face lit up. The world was a better off when you loved me and I loved you back. Thank you for loving me the way you did. Thank you for letting me love you the way I’d always wanted to love someone. I loved teaching the world to love with you.
