Dear Ollie,
I am ashamed of myself. I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my life but I have been extremely busy. I need to tell you what has been ailing me after my recent discovery one late night. It’s rattled my semblance of peace ever since and I desperately cannot hold it in without letting you know anymore. I barely think of you now. You’d used to consume my thoughts every waking moment since you’ve been gone but now you’re barely there. It seems I’d left you somewhere in the back of my mind and I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you do not persist in my mind anymore. You were one of my best friends, even if I did not agree with some choices you’d made, but you held an immense portion of my heart when you were alive. Starling City has not been the same since you’ve been gone. It’s become darker, more sinister in the night. I fear without change soon, the city you once loved will be lost.
There’s so much I wish I could’ve said in person. So much that needed to be spoken but I was ruled by fear for far too long that time did not wait. Life did not wait. It became too late too soon. You vanished and all I was left with was despair and the would’ves, could’ves, should’ves. The “what if’s” used to fluster my mind, especially in the beginning, but now they have all ceased to exist. You will always have a place in my heart. You will always be bigger than the whole sky in my life but now, I need to let you go. Let the memories of you stop haunting me and relinquish the all too familiar ache that’s been unrelenting. An overwhelming amount of words have been left unsaid between the two of us and I cannot even fathom jotting them down for any other eyes but your own. This is my goodbye to you, Oliver. I hope we meet again when I go. For now, this is goodbye.
Love,
