Dear Martha,
It has been three days since I last saw you. I still cannot believe what happened.
Oh Martha, how could you? I don't deserve this. I always did everything, EVERYTHING to protect you. I stood by you. And this is how you thank me?
Do you remember the year we lost Charles jr.? We only had each other, and we pulled through it together. This is who we were.
And today, you seem like a stranger to me. Worse than that, you've become a pretender. You just quit understanding me. I haven't changed a bit, you have. I always did what was best for my country, and for us, and I still do. I don't know where I lost you. I guess… you just stopped believing in our dream, the dream we shared for so many years.
We shared a dream, and we shared our lives. I cannot believe you will not be a part of my life from now on. I cannot accept it.
I love you. You know that. You might think you don't love me anymore at the moment, but I will always, ALWAYS love you, be assured of that.
So maybe you cannot forgive me yet, but I ask you to never forget what we had, either. And do not forget that things happened I never intended. I did not want to hurt you, but sadly, I have to say you made me.
Don't judge me. Don't pretend I am not the man with whom you fell in love anymore. Deep in your heart, you know that each and every thing I did was done with the best of purposes. You know that, because you know me.
I think I can forgive you, in time. You betrayed me that morning, but I know there was also sincerity in your actions. You did what you thought was right, I respect that. But soon, you will be able to see the greater picture, and you will understand. And you will see, some things never change. We will find each other again, I promise.
Love, Charles
