You did the right thing. You are better
by a large margin.

You’re right about us.

One thing that needs to be said: I was lying in bed thinking about things, and I couldn’t let you think that anyone has been a better kisser than you. You are better by a large margin. Seriously. I’m sorry I know we said no email but I think you have to know that!

sorry for the email.
You did the right thing.
and i am breathing.

You are right: You’re right about us. I’m so sorry it was so hard for me to say goodbye. I’m sorry I lost my dignity. You have that effect on me. I really regret not being able to say goodbye in person. But you did the right thing.

Me, (who loves absolutely everything about you,
even seeing your name at the top of this email.)

Just for the record, I would have taken anything from you. I would have followed you to the end of the earth. I adored you.

Thank you for what you’ve written me, it hit my heart and

enough of each other now.
I want you to be happy, I hope you find a way to be, and soon. I was lucky to have so many wonderful years with you and to be able to love you and be loved by you. I’ll never forget you.
