The letter

 I followed in your footsteps today.  The ones you walked so many times to get to me.  I felt you again in my heart, as though you never left.  As though, I never asked you to leave.  

And maybe I could have tried harder.  Maybe I could have been softer.  Maybe I wasn't ready.  Maybe we were never right for each other at all.  

But I did love you.  I meant that when I said it.  

I cheered for the pure part of your soul, your child's heart.  And I grieved for the crushing darkness that overtook you.  

As though I could have been the thing that saved you.  As though you would have let me.  

Sincerely, 

Me
