What He Gave Her Pt 3 (Letter)

Dear Adeline,

I miss you. With you the world was so beautiful, but without you everything has lost its color. I haven't painted since the incident. I miss you Addy. I wish you could come back to me. You used to tell me all your dreams. How much you wanted to run away and make your own little story. I bought a house Addy. It's small, like I know you wanted. It's far away from city, by a big forest, but it's so lonely without you here.

I loved how strong you were; the way your veils never covered your lips. I loved your smile Addy. I miss it so very much. At night when I can't sleep I imagine you are laying besides me smiling while going on about the latest book you finished. When I do that I fall asleep easier. On the really bad days, I hear your voice. It sounds so strong Addy, that I don't want to let you down. When I hear you I don't feel so weak anymore.

Some days I walk through the forest and think of you. You wanted a happy ending so bad Addy, we both did really. I want you to know I tried to give it to you. I tried my best, and I'm so sorry I let you down. I love you so much Adeline and I just wanted you to know I won't forget you. I know that was you biggest fear. You whispered it in my ear when you thought I was asleep one night. I won't let you be forgotten Addy.

Dear Adeline,

I miss you. I tried to paint today, but I ended up sobbing. It reminds me so much of you Addy, it breaks me heart every time I pick up a brush. Even though I can't paint, I take comfort in looking at your portraits. Seeing you, even through a canvas, gives me hope. You are so beautiful Addy, and it hurts me that it took you so long to see that.

I am having nightmares now. Nightmares about you Addy. Every time it is the same thing: that I can't save you. Funny how close to the truth they are. I am barely living. Missing you is taking over my mind. It is driving me insane Addy. I don't know how much more I can take.

I miss you Adeline
