Hello old lover and friend,
You’ve been on my mind
And I wonder how you’ve been?
I hope this letter finds you
And that it finds you happy and well
I write knowing you might not read this
But then there is always a chance that you will…
I miss you.
I want to call you and tell you so every day.
But I know you’re not impressed by this
After all, it was me who pushed you away.
It was me who ended our incredible love game.
The funny thing about the heart is that you can’t tell it what to feel.
I know because I tried.
I told my heart to forget about you
Because you couldn’t give me what I wanted and needed.
I told it not to love you.
But I remain frustrated.
And I think a lot –
Of what we shared
The little time we had together
How compatible we were…
…then I remember all the things we didn’t and couldn’t have
Things I needed from you which you couldn’t give me
Not because you didn’t want to, but because it wasn’t the right time for you.
I suppose it really wasn’t the right time for me either
But in you, and in us, I saw glimpses of what I’ve been dreaming of –
A connection that goes beyond the physical
And is more spiritual
A connection which interlaces friendship in its foundation
And fills my heart with joy…
Funny thing about the heart,
Is that it also tells you when it’s time to part…
I couldn’t settle for just some of you –
I wanted to have it all….
I hope that you know
My goodbye did not reflect how I felt
Or how much love I had in my heart for you
But that it was something which I simply needed to do.
Perhaps our timing was off
But I couldn’t rearrange me, for us
And I doubt you’d have wanted that.
I think we will meet again
But not be together again, in THIS lifetime.
I am so happy we met and shared moments I’ll never forget
I cherish our songs, for they warm my heart
And make it easier being apart
You will be someone I will always miss
And even as I write this
I cry and smile
Because for a moment in time
I was yours and you were mine.
Before I get back to listening to our song,
There is one more thing which I want you to know
No matter whom I’m with or where I reside
I feel you with me.
You’re forever in my heart.

I thought I was alone or wrong to think this way, but you wrote so meaningfully it captures my heart as if you were in my dream last night.
It’s frightning that you would have posted this yesterday, and that my first loves ex-wife/wife? contacted me today via facebook.To be continued!
