Dear Sweet Heart,
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is set someone free, even when you feel like their departure leaves a gaping hole where hope, security and love used to rest. Even when losing such a huge part of your life leaves you feeling like your heart is breaking.
What is worse? To not love fully, openly? To not trust him? To not feel your heart pound when he comes close to you? To not want to rub his arm, kiss him, smile at him? To not feel? To tie yourself to what lies behind instead of what lies ahead?
You gave everything to him, and in the end he didn't want any of it. He was mired firmly in his failed marriage and his pain, and there was nothing you could do to heal that. Your love story had a beginning, a middle and a tragic end, and your heart felt so much joy, love, confusion, fear, pain...but you felt it. Wide open and invested, you felt it all. Hearts heal, lives move on, loss becomes a memory. Don't stop having a loving heart, that is the gift you give the world, it makes you sweet and it makes you who you are.
