Here is my possible goodbye letter to Rich
feedback is appreciated greatly.
Dear Rich,
So this is it, I guess. You're in love, and I am very happy for you. You know how much I love you, and you deserve nothing more than someone to love and be happy with. I've been crying on and off, not really knowing what to say to you, or how to bid you this final goodbye. Because once you're gone, I know you, you're gone for good. I'm happy for you, but not half as much as I am angry. How could you? Leaving all you've ever known, all you've had in the past year and a half for someone you've known for roughly three months? Rich, I love you, but I have never met a more selfish, stubborn person in my life. You may think that you know what you're doing, and that you can make it out there on your own. Maybe you can, but I don't understand how you can risk your life for this.
Truthfully, I think that in your head you have some romanticized scenario going on. You feel as though you'll contract this terminal illness, people will feel bad for you. Another ploy for sympathy. Rich, listen to me, you are not a martyr. You will not be dying for any cause except for stupidity and selfishness. But, nonetheless, I can't stop you. Quite frankly, nobody can, because you're set on this. I love you, and you're my boy forever, but I will never forgive you for this act of impulsivity. I call it that because you have no idea what you want in life. You just think you do, because Mervin is the only person that has shown you the least bit of the kind of love you seem to be searching for. And just dropping everything and moving to the left coast seems like the best thing to do. Well, I'll tell you something. There's this thing called reality. You have to face the fact that a fast solution to your problems, such as this, is not always a permanent solution.
I know there's not a huge possibility of you waking up on a sunny california morning and saying, "oh fuck, what have I done?" But should you do that, I want you to know that you can always call me. I will not say "I told you so." I will lend my ears to you because no matter what, I love you. I don't agree with these actions you're taking, but I need you to know how I feel, and never forget that I will always be there for you. Always.
Love,
Halley
