Dear Friend,

In the end, the decision you made was not to make me a priority of your life. This was a decision that severed the bond, that shattered the possiblities between us. Our love and friendship was not enough to sustain our relationship. And, in the end, I find that our friendship, as special as it is, is not enough to enable me to endure as selflessly as I had envisioned. So be it.

With deep hurt and profound regret, I withdraw my attempt to connect so intimately, so emotionally with another and, in doing so, I withdraw from life. I become again the lifelong loner I once was.

Although I will always retain memories of the friendship, the relationship, branded on my soul, the letters end here. I will miss them.

Goodbye, Bn.
