The letters were dated August, September, January. They'd been days of clouds and rainshowers. In them he professed he loved her-- loved her truly and forever. You are beautiful and I don't deserve you, they said. I'm to love none else but you. Never leave me, never be gone. I wouldn't know how to live without you. You make me smile when you laugh in the rain. At night I dream only of being in your arms.

She was sure that at the time they'd been written they had been true. But now there was nothing else left in his absence. He left her in the confusion of how everything she'd held to be true could suddenly be in a single moment be shattered. At night she suffers in silence.

Her tears fall, unbidden and unwanted. His last letter came on a spring day.

I don't love you anymore. I'm sorry. I know I'm the reason why you can't return to the life you once had. I don't love you anymore. I'm sorry.
