Frederic... To be honest, I am not really sure what to say. I never imagined that you cared about me so deeply, and I find that very flattering. ...I... cannot say that it makes me truly happy that you understand that I am unable to return your feelings-no caring person would be able to walk away from that truth feeling wholly satisfied-, but I am still relieved nonetheless. For that I thank you, as I have placed a deep sense of trust and friendship in you, and I am glad that those feelings have not been in vain.
Also, if you feel that you should apologize for feeling affection towards me, then so do I for burdening you with this heart ache.
