The Breakup Letter

  To the love of my life,

  I always tell you that you are the love of my life. It’s true. I never understood what love is until “us” happened. I can love different people in this lifetime but there is s no love like ours. I will never give the same love I have given to you and feel the same from another. We may encounter better love, but what we have, or should I say what we had, will always be the one I’d repeat even after a thousand lifetime.

  I love you.  I love you that I will take a bullet for you.

  The past few months was not easy for us. In fact, those were the hardest phase of our relationship. I was struggling to make you happy and you were struggling to be the same man I used to love. It was too painful. And I am sorry. I am sorry because I was badly hurt that it took me a long time to realize that you are hurting too; that it was hard for you too. I am so sorry.

  I am so sorry for trying hard that I was looking straight to what I want to happen to us and I forgot to look how tired you have become for trying too.

  I love you. I love you and I’m setting you free.

  Today, my love, I am letting you go. Not because I don’t love you anymore, but because I am choosing to love myself more. I love you so much that “love” depended on you and I forgot “us”. I tried so hard to save what we have that I started to slowly lose myself—I started to lose “us”.

  I love you. I love you that I can save you before saving myself.

  But now, I decided to save what’s left of me. And I want you to do the same. Nothing you confess could make me love you less, remember that. I will still cheer for you and I will always be proud of everything that you have accomplished and will accomplish in the future. I will still pray for you and I will still wish you well.

  I will still love you but now, I will do everything from afar. I will be loving you from afar. I will still be your greatest fan; your greatest fan from afar.

  My love, thank you. Thank you for giving me a chance to save what we have; what we had. Thank you for giving us a chance. Thank you, my love, for trying. Thank you for giving me happy years. Those years were in fact the happiest years of my life. And in return, I want to give you such kind of happiness because I know that you deserve it too. I wish we both find the happiness that we deserve even if it means not being a part of each other’s life anymore.

  I love you. This love is yours. And if ever there’s a chance for us in another lifetime. I will go through the same story with you. I’m willing to go through the same heart aches again. Even if it means writing this letter again. I’ll never get tired of doing this over and over for the chance of loving you.

  You are the love of my life. See you in another lifetime. My heart is yours.
