Blue6 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 C*******, This letter serves one purpose. I have been meaning to write it when I was good and ready to do so, now's as good a time as any. I am letting you and my memory of you go... 7 months ago you stepped out of my life as vibrantly as you stepped in it. As much as I want to resent you for the pain, anger, sadness and all the other deafening numbness you put me through, I can't. Truth of the matter is I think about you from time to time and feel nothing but gladness that you were in my life. I still feel like I let you down in some way and for that I am deeply sorry. If I had my life more together perhaps we would still be together and I would be looking at your smiling face that warmed my heart like none other. You're truly one of a kind, an original. Your beauty is striking and your wit is second to none. You are a dreamer and a believer with intellect off the charts. What else could a guy want. I was cleaning up the desktop of my laptop and came across a folder that contained a years worth of memories we shared, I opened it. It was a cruel subconscious test to see how my gut/heart would react. I saw your face that I was determined to hide from and my heart skipped, then nothing. The only thought that came to mind was how I now know that we cannot be together because our lives are no longer on the same path, and I am afraid they never were. We were commuters on the same bus just waiting for our next transfer. This doesn't mean I loved you any less or wish by some chance encounter we could give it another go because somewhere deep in my gut, it feels like it's suppose to be you. I am not afraid to admit that my life has been a sheer mess since you left and I miss you more then you'll ever know. I realize that I have been living in fear most of my life. Fear of the unknown, fear of failing and the fear of letting go. For some reason I think your were here as a cruel wakeup call that it's time to get living, living for myself. You and I are not perfect and I know our relationship had it's up's and downs along the way. But in the end, I accepted you and your perfect imperfections for exactly what they were, I just wish you could have accepted mine too. Our lives are compiled of a series of choices that we either make for ourselves or are made for us by some divine intervention along the way. In addition to those choices we discover a multitude of emotions, ups, downs and everything in between. But also lodged in there are the little things and moments in life that mean so much to us. These are the moments I will miss of you the most. Whether it's the waiting in line for a movie to start or brushing my teeth next to you, the one thing I will miss most of all is just being with you and having your back. I don't know where you are right now or what your doing but I hope you and your family are happy and well. Timing is never what you want it to be and I can strangely say that you got the worst version of me. Or to be less critical, a work in progress. I forgive you for the horrible things you said to me that night, breakups are as they say, awkward. I suppose there isn't much else for me to say at this point. I don't know if our paths will ever cross again either by phone or in person but I can't worry about that now. It's time for me to say goodbye to the past and welcome the present with open arms. I now truly understand the phrase "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." May the road rise to meet you... Love Always, *** Link to post Share on other sites
Spiritofnow Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Those are truly beautiful things to say and the letter is a beautiful thing to do for yourself...and I feel that this letter is a representation of a man who is ready to walk the walk, and not just talk the talk. May the road rise to meet you also. Link to post Share on other sites

Thierro Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Beautiful, very touching. If I were you, I would send it, but I am still in the pain of the break-up and I still want her back. If I would send a letter like this it would only scream; I want you back! I hope there comes a time where I will have the same thoughts as you and the strength not wanting to get back with her or send a letter like this. I actually already wrote a similar letter, but it needs to be a letter, as you put it in your title; a letter she will never get. I need to let the false hope go that if I would send the letter, that she will realise what she gave up and come back. Edited July 12, 2010 by Thierro Link to post Share on other sites
