To the girl that got away:

To the girl that got away: I want you to know that I never intended to create any distance between us or make you feel like our reality fell short of the romanticized version I portrayed in my writing. I want to assure you that the stories I wrote were never meant to replace or diminish our own unique journey together. They were simply an attempt to capture the depth of my feelings for you in a creative way. But I now realize that the "you" I had and the "you" I wrote were two completely separate people.
