Just a small one-shot I came up with. I donno how sad this is, so you may or may not cry...


Dear Phil,

Hey...I guess by the time you see this I'll be "gone", so I'll write it as if I were speaking to you in person. It's not your fault. If anything, you helped me push forward, live my life, have a best friend. You were truly the only person that mattered in the world. I really wish I hadn't been so weak as to leave you alone, but my mind...you could say the 'existential crisis' part of my brain took over. Sorry, just trying to lift the mood a bit. Who am I kidding, I shouldn't be talking like this. I know you're most likely hurting, asking yourself why I would ever do this to you. You may even hate me. No, never mind. I know you well enough, you could never hate me. I wish you did though. You could move on, forget about me, be the person you deserve to be, not having me around covering you with my shadow. I never understood why our fans liked me more than you, you were there first. You brought me into YouTube. You gave me things I never would have gotten had I stayed the anti-social kid and never gone out of my comfort zone. You made my smile bigger, you made my eyes brighter, you gave me a reason to live. If you want an explanation, there is none. I fell into a deep well of negativity and this time, nobody could pull me out. I was in too deep, I wanted this. This is all me, alright? None of this was you. You were ARE my everything, and I'm sorry I never told you that sooner. I'm sorry. I feel terrible leaving you, even more when our fans are probably devastated about this whole thing, huh? Looks like there won't be any Phil is not on fire video next year. Or the next. Or the next... I'm sorry. Writing this is so hard, I'm beginning to rethink my plans. One last thing before I change my mind:

I love you, Phil. I always have and always will, ever since you first started talking to me, ever since we met for the first time, and ever since you jumped on me on our first video together. Please move on. You're meant to do great things because you're such a great person, you don't need someone like me ruin your picture. There can always be a Phil without Dan, just not vice versa. Go and be the best you can, I know you can make it on your own. Thank you for everything Phillip, you were able to fill the remaining part of my life with the sunshine I needed for years, but the time has come for me to finally leave the picture. Besides, we've had our fun, we've done all we can. Just never forget, Phil,

this was the most fun I've ever had.

-Daniel
