Simon


I was so mean, my god was I mean, and you were the innocent archetype. You were never that open, or naive after that year. I feel like I broke you, but it took me so long to realize, and now I cannot apologize since, I’m sure, you don’t remember. Many of the people I hurt don’t remember me, but my words shaped their souls and I wish I could take all that back. It’s true, you know, those that are hurt tend to hurt others, but you are anomalistically kind, and I wish I could be as devoted to anything in life as you were to everything. You’ll make it I swear, even while I am stuck. I’ll be your Renfield, perhaps then I’ll earn your forgiveness.
