I had hoped at some point in our lives together we would have figured a way to find common ground and communication.

Unfortunately, we two are far too close to have noticed the scars we have, and the beliefs we hold, set us on a path that for a moment in time allowed us peace, kindness, and love.

It is that tempest that caused the tornadic events deep within your heart and in mine. That tempest created the best of the worst of you and the best of the worst in me. The hot winds and the cold rain combined to produce the thunder and the rains which swept clear the valley of tranquility in my life.

I have always believed that you were the strongest man I’ve ever met. I always looked upon you with kindness, with hope, with love, with future in my eyes. The first night we met, there was a spark so intense that it changed my world forever. 

It is hard to believe that in the two months that we knew each other, a bond could form this strong. It is hard to comprehend how deeply my whole world changed. It is hard to realize every day, even as many days have passed, how my whole psyche had changed from not knowing who you were to not knowing how I was to continue without you.

The time we shared together created some incredible memories and created some incredible pain.

The thing about being in love:
Love can conquer all sometimes.
Love’s fire can burn extremely hot.
Love, when chilled, can freeze one’s soul.

I realize that our shared destiny, as I felt it in my soul, is not to be this day.

I will always remember your smile, the feel of warmth from your hugs, the gentle brush of your hand against mine in the car, and the feeling of your arms around me as we danced in the dim light flickering on the tile floor.

These are the moments I will always remember, the moments where there was no pretense, no guards, just our two hearts, beating in perfect time, swaying to the music that played deep from within my soul.

So, it seems this is the end of the book that we wrote together, though only time will tell if it’s a great tragedy or if it’s a great work of heart.

I guess we have to let the audience decide.

I am deeply sorry for any pain, any affliction, or any sadness that I have caused you.

My intentions were good, my intentions were love. I hope that with time, space, and distance that you will come to cherish the good times we shared together. For in those memories are the real truth of love.

I will always hold you in my heart.

Goodbye, my love. thank you for everything.
Thank you for the love you’ve given me.
Thank you for sharing your life,
your family,
your heart,
your strength,
your passion,
and most importantly,
you with me.

I will always think of you fondly.

Thank you for filling my heart.
Thank you for ripping me apart.
