"I let her go. I let her go to the wilds. I let her go to be free. I let her go, i sacrificed for her, I let her go on alone. This wasn't supposed to happen. We were supposed to go together. Things didn't go as planned. But they say, only know you love her when you let her go. So i did. I let her go. I lied to her. I told her to run. I told her i'd be right behind her. I told her to promise me that she'd never look back. She looked back. She wasn't supposed to. She wasn't supposed to know, that i was not going with her, that she'd be alone, for the rest of her life. I'd be only a memory, a part of her that she'd have to keep to herself. I'd be that burning flame inside her heart.
Lena. I love you. They may take me away, but remember. I love you. They cannot take that away.
Don't give up just because i'm not here. Keep on living, Lena. Be strong. I know you can do it. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it with you. You know i wanted to. And I'm sorry for lying to you, telling you that I'd be right behind you. But Lena, please live. For me, live. Thank you for accepting me, believing in me, trusting me. Thank you for running when I told you to, and not looking back until the very end. Thank you for the pleasant days and the fun we've had together. Thank for everything. But mostly, thank you for loving me." -Alex Sheathes
