Dear Mom,

I never meant to hurt you, yet I hurt you in so many ways. Today will be the last time I hurt you. This isn't your fault, it's mine. I am selfish and uncaring. You were always trying so hard to take care of me ever since I was a little boy. You've seen the best and worst of me. Your dream was to see me graduate. I'm afraid you will never see that. I have disappointed you again. I'm sorry. I wish I could say goodbye to you. A real, genuine goodbye without Johnson pushing me out a window. I don't even remember the last thing I said to you! Do you remember me, Evan Hansen? Do you remember your little, nature-obsessed boy that had to go to therapy and take pills? Do you remember the fun times we shared? I needed to leave. Because I hurt you. Because I'm a failure. You might never read this. Johnson might rip it up or burn it. Or maybe you'll read this and understand why I killed myself. Maybe that'll give you courage to call the police about Johnson. I never got to say goodbye to your face, but I'll say it now. Goodbye. Forever. I love you.
Sincerely,
Evan Hansen
