It would be wrong not to think of you at all. For all the little moments of joy, for all the little smiles that lingered, for all the little secrets we had tucked away...it would be wrong not to think of you at all. But, how easy it is not to think of you today. Once it was impossible, but now it is so easy. Now, you are just an occasional passing thought, now you are just a bitter angry thought, now I do not know you at all.
Now, just now...we almost have no memories. Not because we didn't make any, but because I do not want to remember the time. We have nothing in common now. No little sparks flitting about us, when we cross each other. Not because they disappeared to anywhere at all, and not because they were never there. But, because I, I do not allow them to emanate. I no longer will.
And, it isn't because of time, or it isn't because I never loved. No, it isn't even because now I am cold, and angry, and without a heart. It is only because now, it must not be.
You and me, we had our time. We had our days that stretched out like little bubbles in an ocean of happiness. We had our days that were difficult like a yacht upon troubled waters. And, we had our days we were forlorn like the shore awaiting the ocean. We had our time. And, we had our chance.
When you think of me then, my love, remember I did once love. Remember, I did once fight. For our love. And, remember it was true. Remember, my love, when I said forever, I meant it. And when I said I care, I still do today. But know that you walked away. Even in the moments I pushed, even in the times I prodded... you never stopped, you didn't turn around.
And, today as we have faded into everyday life, and I have found other dreams...I want you to know that. I want you to know that I gave us a chance. You would remember me by that, wouldn't you?
[ Wow, 25 may seem so small, but to me it is immense. I'd have never thought I'd get here. Thank you for so many comments, and all the good and bad things you say! Much love. More Love Letters here]]
Awesome 24, otherwise known as, 25 Moving on and letting go. Remembering with love, but no regrets or bitterness. I wonder how long it will take one to get to this stage. Maybe it depends on how things end. I find it always easier to look back with fondness, when I let things play out their natural course. Wonder if it's like that with others.
this was beautiful. as always , but this time, it struck a chord. I felt like I was reading my thoughts. Exactly the way they are, but just put in words so easily..so effortlessly. How do you do it? And yayy to the big number! 25 definitely isnt small! congrats =)
This was perfect. So real. It's like you dip into me and pull these out =)
@awoolham - I find it hard myself, so I do wonder.
@For_who_you_are - wow, that's a lovely line! I'm honored...and I must admit in love with your line:)!
I don't know; I don't think anyone can ever completely get over a relationship. Some parts of it stick around. Ofcourse not enough for you to realise them, unless you sit down and wonder. Somethings just never change.
Dear Blue,
Thank you for your recent visit to and comment on my blog.
Nicely written love letter. I still remember most of the "good times' I had with my ex girlfriends. I've conveniently forgotten the "bad times".

Can anyone put it across so beautifully,so much sadness yet so much love,and much more hope..you are blessed with a precious talent!
Hey.. this is so well written. But tell me this - do you feel what you write or write what you feel? Can you always keep the two distinct?

Pure love tainted with the bitterness of heartbreak... love it.
