Finally, a wonderful love letter that Frida sent to her lover and husband Diego:

I won't ask you to give me a kiss.

Nor that you ask me for forgiveness when I think you've done wrong or that you've made a mistake.

Nor am I going to ask you to hug me when I need it most, or to invite me to dinner on our anniversary.

I'm not going to ask you to take me on a trip around the world, to live new experiences, let alone ask you to hold my hand when we are in the middle of that city.

I'm not going to ask you to tell me how handsome I look, even if it's a lie, or to write me anything nice.

Nor am I going to ask you to call me to tell me how your day went, or to tell me that you miss me.

I'm not going to ask you to thank me for everything I do for you, or to worry about me when my spirits are down, and of course, I won't ask you to support me in my decisions.

Nor will I ask you to listen to me when I have a thousand stories to tell you. I'm not going to ask you to do anything, not even to stay by my side forever.

Because if I have to ask you, I don't want it anymore.
