Dear Katniss,
I don't even know where to begin. You have been such a great friend to me and I can't thank you enough. I know you have chosen Peeta, and I am happy for you, I really am. You deserve him and he deserves you. You two are meant for each other, as much as I would like to believe otherwise. I know you have loved him since the 74th games, and Katniss, there is no denying it and I can't deny the jealousy I felt towards him and how whenever he kissed you, I wanted to punch him in the face. But I am sure something happened in those games that made you fall in love with him. Though, I still wanted to see if there was anything between us, if there was still a chance for us. So I wrongfully kissed you in the woods. I shouldn't have done that. I knew that you weren't sure of your feelings for Peeta and I used that vulnerability to take advantage of you and lead you on into believing that we had something. I knew that it was going to be Peeta in the end, but I still wanted to have you to myself before you realized it was Peeta. I am sorry for that. I should have never done that to you. Also, because of what I did, it took you longer to realize just how much you cared for and loved Peeta. Everyone could tell that you loved him, except you. You believed you loved me, but Katniss, none of that love was real, at least not the romantic love you thought you felt for me. I should have cut it off sooner and told you right then and there that we weren't meant to be together. But I loved you so much and just let my selfish side take over. I could never bring myself to say what I wanted to. So I thought that leaving after the war ended was the perfect opportunity to leave and let you realize on your own how much you loved him. That way, I wouldn't have to tell you any of the things I felt I needed to. So I just disappeared out of your life. I guess my plan worked, considering the fact that you're with Peeta now. But I still couldn't stop thinking about how important it was to tell you these things. Thus, I am writing this letter.
And now, I must talk about Prim. I am so sorry she died. I know you may blame me because I helped create the bombs, but I did not mean for them to be dropped on children, let alone Prim. President Coin did not tell me what they were to be used for, so I just assumed they were to be dropped in the Capitol, but not on a crowd of children. I never wanted that. I hope you know that and will find it in you heart to forgive me. Don't just forgive me for that; forgive me for everything I have ever wrongfully done to you. But if you don't, I understand.
I am glad you realized your feelings for Peeta. I know that if you had chosen me, all you would think about is Peeta and how he was doing. Katniss, you would never be as happy with me as I am sure you are with him right now and always will be. I know he will be good to you and will always be there for you. Please know, that no matter what, I am here for you if you need me, though I don't think you will be needing me any time soon, if at all. I love you Katniss and I always will.
All my love,
Gale
