William, I miss you dearly, and although I can still feel your presence lingering, I feel the emptiness that I’ve caused. We promised to meet in the afterlife and that my heart was yours. A piece of it still is, if you’re still willing to take it. I will always love you.
I remember that night we first met. You were with Darius and Garret and TJ. Jessica might have been there too. Just writing all of their names brings back the memories of us at the park. Remember that time you stole my cape? Or how we slid down the slide at the playground together? Breaking into old houses? Remember how Tammy literally attacked me when she found out we were together? Or how we would watch over Luke? I remember all of them. And I’m waiting for the day I can see you all again. I hope you’ll be waiting for me, too. I hope you can forgive me for all the pain I have caused.
I didn’t mean to abandon you. But, you went away… I couldn’t find you. I was so lost. I resorted to suicide and I lost you even further.
I think I know how you died now.
I think the reason you never told me was because you didn’t want me to have a reason to go through with it.
I think you killed yourself, too.
And I’m sorry.
I love you, William.
Always have, always will.
Take me home.
