"Once the seed of doubt was planted in your heart, the seed withered up the trust between us. I understand your pain and franticness, but it leaves me feeling sad and powerless. I hope that you remember, I loved and cared about you with all of my heart.
I hope every relationship will last forever, and, all the people that we know are happy and healthy wherever they are. But, if our relationships do meet their end, may our love comfort the pain of our loss."
