The note, penned with raw emotion, read, "Goodbye, you're not to blame." It went on to express regret, with phrases like "what is love is lost," "my heart bleeds," and "I leave it was not you, it was me." The speaker's heart raced as they read the note, feeling intense emotions, wishing the ground would swallow them up.
