A Letter To Elise, chapter 22
And then, Robert replied:
"It's OK, You are so right, and I think I have cleared my mind, I'm going to move away, I Don't want to know anything about Elise from now on. I will find my real path in life, I will build a new way of living.
"But how would you do that? -said Simon-"It is not so easy to just leave like that, what about the material things, the house, the car,... The marriage! Which is not material, I know, but it was OK to mention that?
"Well, material things doesn't mean anything important, they come and go, they don't last forever, the emotion you get when you purchase them ends someday, and what is important is to feel well with yourself, to be happy, to know that your life is the most precious thing you have, and that no one can buy it.
You just share it, but with someone that is willing to go through hell for you, that is, someone who really cares, someone that appreciates what you really are, a human, not an "object," and that would do anything to see you healthy, happy; to see you not suffering, to summarize.
"All that could pass, but, is not that easy and you know it."
"Then she can get all the stuff, to me it's nothing. I told you I will rebuild my life, and by knowing Elise, she would accept the offer no matter what, she became a selfish person."
"OK then, now do whatever you want to get your life better. I will be always here for you."
"Thanks Simon, now I will go to my house to start."
Robert went to his house, preparing everything he needed, and finally braking up the promise he had made to Elise. The promise that said he was never going to leave her, he would love her forever even beyond his death. So he finally sent a letter to Elise, and it was read like this:
**
Dear Elise.
It doesn't matter what you say, I just can't stay here every day, and keep on acting like we act. Every way to smile, and make believe we never needed anymore than this.
It doesn't matter what you do, I know I'll never really get inside of you, to make your eyes catch fire the way they should, the way they blue could pull me in, if they only would, I'd lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away.
From me and you, there are worlds to part, with aching looks and breaking hearts. Elise, believe I never wanted this, I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises, I thought you were the girl I ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT... But I let the dream go, and promises broken, even the "make believe" ran out.
So Elise, for you it will be heaven, I'm telling you that I will go away forever, not to make you happy I must say, but to make myself happy, and if that makes you happy, then nothing else will stop me. But I will go remembering the good times we passed, every day we laughed, and how we used to be the best friends. Now I realize we are not the same... (Emenious Sleepus song plays in the background)
**
So I will know let you go on your way, enjoy life. All the things you want are on the house, I don't need them, you can keep all you see there, I will rebuild my life by looking for a new spark.
Take care,
Robert.
