Dear Soulmate,
To her, to you, whomsoever you may be; you know who you are, as much as you know that you aren’t with me.
To you, I may be nothing else than a distant memory, but to me who watches over you silently, you are everything and much more than these eyes can see
It was always you, it will always be you, and it will never be anyone but you
Yet now, I have to learn to let go and be happy, and learn to love without you, and make room for someone else who may or may not come along
I have a heavy heart, but that won’t deter me from trying to convey
Each and every word that I wanted you to hear me say
It may or may not have gone the way I’d hoped, but I knew that we could have worked through those challenges together
No matter how bad it got, I knew that it would have all been better
But now as I am writing this letter, I am alone in a corner, whispering softly to my ears, words of affirmation that from you I wanted to hear
Yet from you, all I heard was silence, and that silence was all but deafening, and it made me shed many tears
It was you, it should have been you, it should have never been anyone else but you
But now I do not know what else to do.
I love you. I loved you. I want to keep loving you for all eternity
But it seems fate did not deem it to be reality
I thought seeing that smile was a sign that portended happiness
But that smile was never for me, and it may very well never be.
Never ever more, to have and to hold
Never have, never been able to be told
That I even had a chance from the very beginning
Thought I was winning, but instead I was slowly dying
Therefore, with this letter, I hope I can impart
What feelings left I have for you deep in my heart
I never regretted loving you, and I never will
That is one part of me that I never want to kill
I’ve a soft heart, and what I heard from others may have been painful
But I know it was not your intention to be so hateful
It was me, my own hubris, my own idiocy, my own inexperience that lead me to experience this pain that I am feeling now
The pain that gave me strength, the pain that keeps giving me doubts
These last few lines should be clear and concise
I hope you’re happy now, unlike me who’s heart’s turning as cold as ice
I still dream, still hope for an ending with me and you together
It was you. It should have been you. Not another.
