Dear Piper,
I saw you crying
But I didn't comfort you
I heard you crying in your room, screaming for help but I didn't go help you… comfort you, he broke your heart, but I couldn't help you.
I heard you calling for me
But I didn't come
You yelled for me asking me for help but I couldn't, I just couldn't
I saw you falling
But I didn't catch you
You were falling… falling so hard, falling for me… but I couldn't catch what wasn't mine.
I saw you needed someone to love
But love was so far off
I couldn't love you, you weren't mine to love, and you were his first, not mine… I couldn't.
I tried to help but it was too late
I went to help but it was too late for me to fix what can't be fixed.
I was too late to save you
You lay dead on the floor your heart broken twice over.
Too late to stop you
I checked your pulse, you were dead, and you killed yourself because of what he did and what I didn't.
Too late to love you
I love you Piper, I'm sorry.
Love, Leo Valdez
Leo sets the letter down on Piper's grave, tears slipping down his face, his heart hurting.
