Harper's notes:

After all that we had been through it was odd to hear you talk about our relationship in a past tense.

Because we still lay in our queen size bed side by side but we seem so far away.

Our skin touches but we cower.

I would try to make conversation but I think I did something. I don't know what I did, so I shut down and let her drift away.

It wasn't surprising.

Who in my life has stuck around longer than a couple of months?

No one. I was a fool for getting my hopes up.

Even if It wasn't surprising to see someone else walk out on me It still hurt. I just hope she lets me down slowly.

I don't know how she feels or what goes on in that head covered with blonde curls but I know I love her. More than I've ever loved anyone. But this is real life and everything has prepared me for how awful life is. Just like relationships.

Relationships don't have the courtesy of being ended with a natural death.

They are murdered.

I just hope it's quick.
