My Love,

Our relationship has been over for three years now. You have moved on, and so have I. You have found a new love; I have discovered the beauty of loving myself first and foremost. I am contented with the fact that we are better off growing apart and leaving different lives. Or so, I thought I did.

But seeing you again today made me realize that you still have the same effect on me. You still make my heart skip a beat. Your gaze still makes my knees shake. Your heavenly smile still makes my hand tremble.

I don't want this feeling. I don't want to go through the emotional roller coaster again. God knows I have worked so hard just to get over you. I have spent countless sleepless nights trying to convince myself that I am better off without you. 

But then I realized, who am I trying to kid? Who am I trying to convince? Yes, I have summoned all my strength to stand up again after a broken heart. Yes, given the chance, I don't want to go back to that emotional turmoil ever again.

But if you tell me now that you have been thinking about me after all these years, that you have been rehearsing the first line that you will tell me if we see each other again, I know deep in my heart that I will readily drop all my reservations. With no second thoughts, I will wrap my sweet arms around you and swear to hold you forever. I will go back to hell and back if only to experience a day in paradise with you. I will move heaven and earth just to make way for a moment of bliss with you.

Yes, I still love you, after all these years. And even if I have been consciously looking for someone to fill the void that you've left, my efforts were futile. Because even if my mind says go, my heart has always said: I have found forever in you!

Yours
