I just wanted to apologize. You didn't need to worry yourself so sick about me all this time. I appreciate it with all my heart, but you didn't need to burden yourself with my affairs.</p> <p>But enough about me. This isn't about me. It never has been. It's about you. The person who's stuck with me for this long without looking down in shame. I've never forgotten that day in the pool, you know? It really felt like our time, just the two of us. If I'll be candid,</p> <p>the only time I was truly happy was with you.</p> <p>So, from the bottom of my heart, (text-rotate-x:8)+(text-rotate-y:35)[thank you.]</p> <p>(text-rotate-x:8)+(text-rotate-y:32)+(text-rotate-z:352)[Thank you for being the one I could put my heart in] (text-rotate-x:8)+(text-rotate-y:32)+(text-rotate-z:66)[when nobody wanted to be around me.] <br> (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[= <p>(text-rotate-x:326)+(text-rotate-y:359)+(text-rotate-z:336)[I'll do the best thing I can to thank you.](text-rotate-x:33)+(text-rotate-y:64)+(text-rotate-z:336)[ I'll leave,] (text-rotate-x:297)+(text-rotate-y:13)+(text-rotate-z:37)[go as far away from this fucking town as I can, ] (text-rotate-x:11)+(text-rotate-y:25)+(text-rotate-z:345)[and you won't have to tolerate my moping around anymore.
