M:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry that I didn\u2019t come today to meet you. I feel like such a coward, but I couldn\u2019t face saying the words to you in person. This spot in the woods was our place. It was safe and happy, but it wasn\u2019t real. It\u2019s not a part of the real world we live in. I\u2019m afraid of what will happen if we are ever found out. What happened between us was sinful. We both have to move on.<\/p>\n

Please let\u2019s not talk after this. It will be easier that way.<\/p>\n

Delivering a letter to the tree, which now has many letters left unread.<\/p>\n

C:<\/p>\n

This will be the last I write to you. I know you won\u2019t bother coming out to find it.<\/p>\n

I saw you in town today with that new man from out of state. You were laughing and flirting with him.<\/p>\n

I know you C. You were forcing those smiles. What are you doing? Where did you go?<\/p>\n

I found out that there\u2019s something wrong inside me. Something wrong besides the obvious, I mean. I can\u2019t have children. I can\u2019t be with the person I love and I can\u2019t have children. C, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s left for me.<\/p>\n

Please come back.<\/p>\n

Love Always, M<\/p>\n
