“What I felt for you was real, Matías. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I was honest with you about my feelings. I told you things I’ve never told anyone. You are the keeper of my secrets, and I appreciate that more than you know. Not once in all these years have I forgotten about you. You showed me true happiness, and a love…” His voice shakes and I close my eyes. “A love I didn’t deserve. I only hope that even though I broke your heart, you still remember some of the good times we had. And I hope that I gave you a fraction of what you gave me.”
