I don't know what to write, but I feel like writing to you. I just can't help but wonder where you are. I hope these actually make it to you instead of being sent right back to me. I can't help but h think about how I just let you leave like that. I remember sitting with you up there, in our spot, watching the sun rise, knowing I wouldn't be able to watch it set by your side.
I know why you left, and it's good reason. You told me everything and I can't tell if I'm thankful or not for you doing so. I know it ain't my fault, but what if I said yes? When if I took your offer, would you have let me convince you to stay?
Maybe, maybe not. I bet you would have left anyway. And I'm not angry. And if I was, it's probably just at myself. I'm sorry, again. And I'll say it over and over again if it means anything anymore.

If you get these letters, I have my return address, always the same. I'm sure you had mine memorized in the first place. Hell, I still remember yours. But please, write back.

Sincerely, Daryl
