This is not a goodbye my darling this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.I love you T.

Yes I decided a man can truly change. The events of the past year have taught me much about myself and a few universal truths. I learned for instance that while wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love its often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life leading me to believe that while Ive often overestimated what I could accomplish in a day I had underestimated what I could do in a year. But most of all I learned that its possible for two people to fall in love all over again even when theres been a lifetime of disappointment between them.

Spending time with you showed me what Ive been missing in my life.

You really love her dont you she said.With all my heart.She looked as sad as Id ever seen her.Whats your heart telling you to doI dont know.Maybe she said gentlyYoure trying to hard to hear it.

He stared at her knowing with certainty that he was falling in love. He pulled her close and kissed her beneath a blanket of stars wondering how on earth hed been lucky enough to find her.

I dont want to lose you. His voice almost a whisper. Seeing his haggard expression she took his hand and squeezed it then reluctantly let it go. She could feel the tears again and she fought them back. But you dont want to keep me either do you To that he had no response.

If youre a bird... Im a bird...

She was my dream. She made me who I am and holding her in my arms was more natural to me than my own heartbeat. I think about her all the time. Even now when Im sitting here I think about her. There could never have been another.

Id learned that some things are best kept secret.

Poets often describe love as an emotion that we cant control one that overwhelms logic and common sense. Thats what it was like for me. I didnt plan on falling in love with you and I doubt if oyu planned on fallin gin love with me. But once we met it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love despite our differences and once we did something rare and beautiful was created. For me love like that has happened only once and thats why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. Ill never forget a single moment of it.
