I am so glad I am not there.! The human heart is such an incomprehensible, such a strange thing, my dear friend. Loving you like this, always being by your side, feeling your breath ... How I rejoice now that we are parted! Is this really to be? But I know you love me, that you will accept my departure with understanding and forgive me.
Weren't all my other relationships there as if they had been specially placed in my path by fate to prick my delicate heart? Poor Leonore! But even so, I was not to blame! While she was amusing my heart with her sister's coquettish, delicate charm, would it have occurred to me that such a passion could take root in her poor heart? Can I still be considered innocent? Did I not fan her feelings into flame?
Even though it was never funny, didn't I enjoy those pure feelings that so often made us smile, her unexaggerated excitement and expressions of emotion? Wasn't it I? How strange and incomprehensible people who can burn themselves with their own passion are, my dear friend! I promise you; I will henceforth keep myself in check. I will no longer dwell on my sorrows to the last atom, as I have always done. And the past will remain but a memory to me...
