Dear Bonnie,

? ?I'm a coward,I should be saying this to your face,not writting this letter,but...I know if I do,you'll talk me out of running away from all my problems.You're gonna make me take a future without Elena.Then you're gonna help make me the best man that I can prossibly be.The same way she did.And I'm absolutely terrified of failing you both.So I'm leaving.Because I'd rather let you down once than let you down for the rest of your life.And I hope it's the happinest life.Because of you,Bonnie Bennett,are an amazing woman...A mediocre crossword puzzle player...and my best friend.

With great love and respect,

Damon.
