Después de tantos años, no puedo creer que he acabado así. Soy una tonta por pensar que las cosas podrían ser mejores.
Soy una idiota, una completa idiota.
My dear friend,
You never showed up, and now, after looking at the newspapers I understand why. I don't imagine you will receive this letter but I nonetheless must send it. I was just starting to dream the silliest and softest of dreams. I miss you, and I will always miss you but I cannot live like that, and it seems you cannot live any other way.
When I'm with you, the world makes sense; but when we are apart, I see clearly that your world is not a world from which one can escape. I'm so sorry, for everything, for everything long ago and for starting up that business again. There's a good man within you, friend, but he is wrestling with a giant. And the giant... wins, time and again. You've broken my heart, again, and I fear I have broken yours.
For that, I will never forgive myself but you must let me go now. I enclose a ring you gave me many years ago, when we were both young, not because I don't like it, but because I care for it far too much and it reminds me too much of you. I hope, one day... you will find some people in love who can use this, for it kept me thinking of you all these years, and I hope by returning it to you I can finally be free.
Goodbye
Loren
Llegó el frabulloso día que por mucho tiempo temí y esperé que no llegara. Pero llegó más rápido de lo que pude pensar, y apenas me dí cuenta que era mañana y luego que era hoy y luego ya era ayer y luego hace una semana.
