He liked to think of their time together as a brief sojourn into a friendlier world. He could not be a part of it forever, he'd known that from the start. Perhaps he hadn't said anything to her out of fear that she would reject him, that she wouldn't want to share her world with someone like him. After he got to know her, he realized how silly that was. She wouldn't have denied him anything. That was the whole point of her personality, the whole reason her world was the way it was.
He only wished his leaving had been so hard on her.
But the beauty of her world was that it kept her safe. No matter what happened, she would be protected, and eventually happy again. That was what he would always love about her.
