left behind
Dear Stony:
I want you to know being with you was not some novelty of insight into your different world. The horrible things from which I've been protected as an upper class man were all too present in your life. I may not be able to fully understand what you've been through, but i do understand why you did what you did. I know you weren't trying to hurt me. Society was hurting you and you felt you had to leave. But just because people will assume you are guilty no matter what you do does not mean you have to be helpless in fulfilling the stereotype. I wanted to protect you, but now I realize you didn't want to be protected. I hope things are different wherever you are now, and you don't have to run anymore.
If you ever want to see me again, I'll be waiting.
Love,
Keith
