Dear The One Who Got Away,

I don’t think I could ever forget you. & although I never said it directly, you know that I love you. I feel that I have loved you forever. It’s just that lately, things have been much harder - especially realizing that you’re not here with me.

Truth be told, I’m sad and I'm tired of making up excuses for myself. Since you left, I’ve spent most of the time feeling lost and alone. It's as if I've been living a life full of ghosts.

But that’s not who I want to be anymore - so it occured to me that it was time for me to let go and let myself be happy again. It's time for me to bury these ghosts. But I can’t do that with you.

I’m so sorry. No matter how hard I try to fight it off, I am left with the feeling that I have to do this. I don’t even have the slightest idea of what I’m going to do, but I know I have to do this. If I don’t, I’m afraid I’ll self destruct and worse, I’ll never learn to love again.

Be safe, and I hope you do find happiness out there. Please know that I tried very hard. Know that you were my one and only. I’ll miss you with every beat of my heart. Our time together was everything I could’ve ever wanted. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I love you. I always will. Goodbye.

Love always,

The One Who's Moving On
