It was Giselle’s mother who gave the letter to me a week after her funeral. She’s said Giselle had given it to her lawyer. But I always wondered if that
was true and if her mother ever suspected what Giselle planned to do.
It doesn’t matter now.
I lean against the wall and open the letter. The familiarity of her words seeps into me the moment I start reading, but this time as I read, I try to listen.
To my Knight,
If you’re reading this, it means I’m not here anymore.
You’ll also know how I decided to leave. Please forgive me.
I know you won’t understand what I did, but it hurt me to think of what my future would look like in just a few months when I start dying, and everyone I love will be in more pain.
As I write this letter, I’m watching you sleeping in the chair next to me in my hospital bed for yet another treatment we both know won’t work.
But I love you for trying. If nothing else, these moments between us mean more time spent together that I will always cherish.
I wanted to write this letter because I know you will feel everything under the sun, and you’ll probably hate me for what I did. But knowing you, hate is not an emotion that will ever come from you toward me.
I seem to be the exception to your rules.
I wanted my parting words to be something to help you find the same happiness you gave me.
It’s my turn to take care of you now and tell you to live and love and never stop trying to do either.
Live the life you want to live and enjoy every single moment of it. But most importantly, I want you to love.
I will always say that we were meant to be for this time only, but there is someone else out there who you’re meant to spend the rest of your life with.
When you see her, you’ll know her.
I don’t want you to be afraid to love her with everything inside you.
Don’t be afraid to choose her and make sure she knows she belongs to you, and never stop fighting for that love, even if you’re the one standing in your way.
Thank you so much for loving me and being my white knight. You saved me in every way possible. Now it’s time for you to save someone else.
Love you always,
Giselle
I stare at the letter, my soul trembling as those parting words flow into me and light touches my heart with peace.
Each word fuses with my mind, blending letter by letter, speaking directly to my soul.
When I first read this letter, it broke me, and I hated the idea of her telling me to love again.
The last time I read this letter, I couldn’t conceive what she was telling me, but now, her words whisper to my core, clearing the darkness from my view with one message.
One resounding message telling me I can’t lose Aurora.
No matter what I do, I mustn’t.
I fell for her when I first saw her. It was always what that feeling was—love. Not confusion, or curiosity, or lust.
Like a seed, it was love planting itself in my heart. Now it’s in full bloom, and I can’t lose it.
