Dear S,

Over 2 years ago, we went to dinner for the first time. I Looked into your eyes thought to myself, ‘I know this man, and he knows me.’ It was a thought that required no justification, it simply WAS. We connected, on so many levels. Two souls met at a particular point in time and space, and two souls connected.

Today, we once again looked into each other’s eyes. I thought to myself, ‘I no longer know this man, and he no longer knows me.’ It was still a thought that required no justification, it again simply WAS. Our lives had lead us down different paths. Our souls no longer recognise each other as they once were.

We are both different now. Different in so many ways. The circumstances and needs that brought us together many moons ago no longer exist. Once I felt I could tell you anything and everything; today, I am almost speechless. Something told me, in my heart, that whatever I say to you, no longer matters to you nor I. Once you were the centre of my life, today, I am at peace, without you.

I regret nothing. The pain was the best teacher I have ever had.

I will no longer shed tears for our love, it has its unique beauty and shall be remembered with a smile.

Today, I looked into your eyes. I was silent. I held still. I took it all in. The colour of your eyes, the small wrinkles around your lips when you smile, the scent in your hair, the way your skin felt under my fingers as we kissed good bye.

I will remember, remember you and remember us, as how we began, the passion, the love and the way we just understood each other.

I will remember, that through it all, I have grown up and learned many lessons.

I will remember, many moons ago, our souls met, and connected.

I will remember, everything as it was, at that moment we kissed good bye.

Good bye…
