Jethro read the words, with tears streaming down his face. He sat down at his ex-lover's desk with a pen in hand and grabbed a piece of paper from her mahogany desk, sitting in the chair that his lover would sit in. His heart felt like it was being torn from his strong muscular chest.
The metal encased biro touched the softness of the grains in the paper and as the salty fluid flooded from his bright blue eyes. The same eyes that had looked into the soul of the one and only Jenifer Shepard. The same blue eyes that his co-worked had fallen in love with.
Dear Jen,
I wish you had told me that you were ill, I could have been there for you. I love you Jen with all my heart and soul. You are everything to me, every minute I think of you, every beat of my heart speaks your name.
Please don't apologize for leaving, it wasn't your fault. I should have told you how much I love you, I wish I had made sure that you knew how much you mean to me. You were the love of my life and you still are. You always will be in my heart, and in my mind. I love you Jen.
You don't need to ask for forgiveness Jen, not ever. I instantly forgive you no matter what. I love you, please believe that.
You are my world, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me. I so wish I could turn back time and hold your hand through it all.
I promise I will never forget you my love, We will be together again soon
Goodbye Jen
I will always love you
My heart is forever yours
Love Jethro
As he looked down at the tear stained letter, he pressed a kiss to the one she had given him and folded hers in his pocket above his heart. Where she belonged; his heart. He rolled up the letter to her and tied it with a green ribbon; her favourite color. Slipping the letter into an empty bottle of bourbon he left the home of his lover. Taking with him his memories and a few reminders of his one true love, he set the place ablaze. To cover up the truth about the beautiful red-headed director.
He couldn't wait around for long, but the fire begun to take away everything that used to be Jenifer Shepard apart from the few things that Jethro carried with him.
He made his way to the marina that they had had their first date at. He sat down near the boat he had built originally back whilst he was dating his soul mate.
This was the final goodbye, the day that he said goodbye to his one love. He looked down at the bottle, and pressed a kiss to it, it had been Jen's and her scent lingered on it, her fingerprints left behind on the glass.
As he threw the bottle into the crystal blue waters, he watched it till it disappeared from his view. Tears streamed down his face, as he whispered to the sky, "I love you Jen" he imagined her smile down upon him. That beautiful shade of lipstick that complimented her complexion.
