Rating: G
He composed letters in his head as he walked, wrote them and discarded them, one after another. Letters that said Thank you, though those words are insufficient to convey what it is I feel, gratitude is too small a word for the woman who found me and saw who I am and who I have been and let me stay despite it, let a wanderer call a place home, even if it was just for a little while, and I wish it had been longer but
Letters that had no ending, and letters that said I have stayed longer than I should, put you in danger too many times and it is just going to get worse, it is for you that I leave although I know it's going to hurt you so much and I can't bear to see that so I'll be gone before you read this, please don't cry when you read this Miss Ka
Letters that were too honest, and letters that said I am gone. I have left you. I have left knowing that you wanted me to stay, that you wanted me to stay and that you would have fought to keep me here, because you cared for me. Perhaps you will realize, as I sneak out like a criminal, that this one was never honest with you from the beginning, that the one you care for is only what I pretend to be and and what I wish I was, not what I am. Perhaps you will realize, now that I am gone, that what I really am is not worth caring for
Letters to make her hate him, and letters that said I am leaving because I have to, and I am leaving in secret because I know that if I did not, you would follow me, and if you followed me, you would leave me. By your choice or by your death, you would leave me.
Cowardly letters.
In the end, he left not letters but words, face to face. And the only important word, among all the words he'd considered and discarded in all the letters he'd written only in his mind, was Sayonara.
