Phil,

If you're reading this i'm sorry. I couldn't fight the monsters anymore. I know you did all you could to help me beat them but this time they won. Thank you for staying with me all those nights and through all the existential crisis, All the ups and downs. You have seen all of me the good and the bad and you stayed and i'm so sorry i had to leave. I love you phil, i have for years. I couldn't stand the thought of you hating me so i never told you. All i ever wanted is for you to be happy and loved and to have a good life and i knew you couldn't have those things with me. I hope you can find someone who you can love and have a good life with. Just know that being with you was the most fun I've ever had and you will forever be the best thing to ever happen to me.I love you my brave lion and i hope that i'll get to see you again someday when the monsters can't take me away. Then we can be together forever and always.

Dan

Phil clutched the note he'd read a thousand times over and glanced down from the side of the bridge he was standing on at the river rushing below him and sighed.

"I love you to bear" he paused "Forever and always" Then he jumped.
