My dearest friend –

Please don't be cross. You have to know that our time as lovers is over. I will hold each of those moments in my heart forever. Being friends is the next chapter for us. The only way it can be.

If you must know, I bumped into Edward quite literally in a bookshop one afternoon. For those brief seconds I looked in his eyes, I saw they held a look of untouchable danger. He drew me in so unexpectedly, just as you did once. I was attracted immediately. He fled so quickly I thought I'd frightened him.

The next day as I passed by the shop, I saw him again.

You had just dismissed me. You remember that day, don't you? I was hurt and lonely and this stranger spoke to me with such kindness.

He is special and we are good for each other.

Please let me go.
