Graham Bunn was eliminated from The Bachelorette for not "opening up." But he managed to open up to reporters during a media conference call last week  in which he discussed his feelings for DeAnna  and, of course, the letter everybody wants to read.

Graham said things didn't work out with DeAnna because of communication. "I think that she and I suffered from a severe case of miscommunication," he said. "You know, I don't question that her feelings were very strong for me. And I also shared some strong feelings for her, you know? Where we were in the process may have been different. Because obviously as much as she wanted me to open up and say that, you know, I was falling in love or that I was ready for marriage, you know. I never heard those things directed towards me in an individual, you know, setting. As far as her being ready, I'm sure she is. And, you know, I hope that she finds someone that she can be there with. But in regards to she and I, we were definitely more on the same level than she knows."

Graham also discussed his emotional elimination from the show. "I know that both sides felt pain the night that I left. And causing her pain was something that I never wanted to do. And obviously it was a painful thing for me to leave her knowing that, you know, we wouldn't be hanging out anymore and we wouldn't be spending time."

And what about the much-talked-about letter he gave DeAnna?

"It was a way to open up," he said. "It was a good-bye. And, you know, it was something that I had written after the hometown date. And just some things that I had realized about her and myself and what she and I shared. And it was just kind of a - what I wanted to leave her as a lasting impression of me as a person more so than me as someone that she can never get to open up or get out of me what she needed. And it was just something that I felt like she needed to hear or needed to read. And I knew that if that was the time for me to go, that I might not be able to put into words everything I wanted to say in the brief amount of time that I was given. So, you know, it was just a way to make sure that she had something from me to let her know how I was feeling about the process and about her, and what I wanted for her in life, and that I was grateful for the time that she and I had spent together."
