'A Letter From Lukas'

I'm sorry, Mathias.

I'm sorry I hit you, I'm sorry I said things I didn't really mean. I hurt you, I did things I can no longer take back.

And I pushed you over the edge.

I wish I could've respected you at the very least.

And now you left me. You left me for him.

You never once laid a hand on me. You would say the kindest things to me.

And I repaid you in the worst of ways.

I beat you mentally and physically.

I ruined you.

I ruined us.

I'm begging, Mathias. Please come back.

I see you with him, the man from Holland. I see you kiss him, I see you hug him, I see you touch him in public. You look at him in a way you used to look at me.

I'm sorry for everything I've done. I wish I treated you better. There are so many things I want to apologize for.

But it's too late, isn't it, Mathias?

With Love,

Lukas Bondevik
