This is what I want to say. It's what I want to say and more, because you
hurt me so much I can't possibly express it in words. This is killing me.
You're moving to Toronto, and there's nothing I can do about it. You made
me the happiest I've ever been. People noticed a change in me. They
noticed that I wanted to go on. I wanted to live. Not just to be alive
and breathing, but to live. I actually wanted to do something productive
with my life. And as soon as you told me that you were leaving me, but
that you still loved me, my heart tore out of my chest and shattered into a
million pieces in front of me.
I love you. I'm crying as I write this. It just doesn't stop. I love you
more than I ever thought I could love anyone in all my life. I never
thought this emotion could possibly be achieved. It was like a state of
euphoria. It was wonderful. It was beautiful. It was intense.
You are everything that is good, sweet, pure, innocent, honest and
wonderful. When you hold me, we fit perfectly. And you're going to
Toronto. It wouldn't be so bad if your parents were making you go, but
this is of your own free will.
I thought I meant more to you than that. I thought I meant enough to you
that you could stay for me. We could get a place together. We were going
to get a place... but now you're leaving. And you asked me not to tell
anyone you were going. That hurts the most.
Paul asked me what was wrong. John is continually worried about me. They
say I'm pale. They say I look like I'm sick. They're right, you know.
I'm sick, and I'm scared. I'm afraid to go on without you. You made me
this way. And everything I'm writing doesn't make any sense to me.
Nothing makes any sense anymore.
It's tearing me up inside, Jai. I curl up in a little ball and cry myself
to sleep at night. I think about committing suicide. I think about it a
lot. It hurts. When people ask me what's wrong, and I can't even talk
about it? That kills me. I hate my friends seeing me this way. I hate
the fact that you're doing it to them. It really hurts.
Jai, I used to believe. I used to believe in the stars and the galaxies
and the possibility that anything could, in fact, happen. God, it just
hurts so much! I have no more faith in anything. You were my inspiration,
and you're gone. Forever. I no longer believe in the stars, or in the
planets, or in love and fate and everything good and perfect and beautiful.
I barely believe in myself. It gets less and less everyday.
There were so many things we were going to do. Now we can't. You hurt me,
Jai. Jumping seems so easy now. So does lying in bed all day because I
don't have the motivation to get up. Because you were my hope. Christ, I
have to remind myself to breathe, for God's sake!
And yet you still tell me you love me. You love me, and you're leaving me.
And you don't care. Maybe you care a bit, but not enough to stay. I love
you, Jai. I've never felt this way about anyone, not even my mother or
father. You're ripping my heart out. Take it. Take it to Toronto with
you. Have a souvenir. Go ahead. You've already completely destroyed my
life.
I don't know if I'll ever give this to you. What's the point? Will it
keep you from going to Toronto? Probably not. I don't even know if it
makes any sense... but I tried. I had to get my feelings out. When I try
to explain it to you in real life, I cry what's left of my hear out, and
you just sit there and watch me. You love me? You could at least hold me
when I'm hurting. And I DO hurt, Jai, and it's your fault. And for some
moronic, idiotic reason, I still love you. How's that for stupidity?
Love me forever,
Your Karen
