Dear……..
It’s been nearly eight years since I last heard your voice and hugged you goodbye. If it was anyone else I would have long forgotten what they looked like. But not you. Your face and the memories of the times we spent together almost seem fresher in my memory than the date I went on last week.
I don’t think I love you now, but I know I loved you fiercely once. That love is forever trapped in time. I cannot change that and I do not know if I would even if I could. There has been no one in my life who has come close to you. I put you on a pedestal all those years ago. Nothing, not even time or the distance that has fallen between us, seems to be able to knock you off it.
Several months before we met I stood on a bridge one night and made a wish. The wish was to find someone to fall in love with. That wish came true through you. My only regret is that I didn’t also wish for the love to be reciprocated. There were many times I thought you cared. The way you always wanted to hang out with just me, how our hugs seemed to linger and the hesitation in your voice the night I told you how much I cared for you.
But I could never make you love me or make you see there was inconsistency between your words and your actions. Only you could face that, but you never did. Now all these years have passed and I still find myself thinking of you and wondering how you are. I think I always will, stuck forever in a life sentence of loving you.
Yours truly
