Aelita sat down on the couch in her house. Well, what used to be their house. Why did he have to be so brave and sacrifice himself for her? Yes, Jeremy had tried to kill her in bed, but still, why did he have to save her?

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

She had never even said goodbye to her love. Never been able to say how much she loved him. And she never would be able to.

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Getting up and opening it, she saw Ulrich and Yumi standing there with an envelope in hand. "Can we come in? There's something you might like to see."

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

"Oh, sure" she said to Ulrich, stepping aside to let them in. As they sat down on the couch, Aelita in a chair, the chair he loved, they shared weak smiles. Had he been here, everyone would've been cheerful, happy, and laughing. But it was different. "He left you this envelope. We haven't looked at it, and he wrote it for you if he died."

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Taking the envelope, Aelita began to read:

Dear Princess,

If you are reading this, apparently something happened and I am dead. I hope you will be OK, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love you. I put something in here for you. I hope you will remember me with it. I love you.

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Aelita looked into the envelope and saw a picture of them at the prom, dancing together and both looking over at her. "Oh Odd" she said.

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
