Can someone comment on this letter as I feel that it is a futile attempt to send it, as we have caused enough damage to each other?

 

Dear *****,

 

Please read this letter fully, as a token of respect for me. First, I would like to wish you a wonderful spring semester. I hope you have a marvelous time.

 

During the first couple of weeks of our breakup, we were both emotional wrecks, but now I believe this is the appropriate time for me to send this letter. Funny, I remember us sending letters back and forth like foolish lovers swaying in the dance of romantic passion. Now, we both are walking separate paths and despite this, I feel it is necessary to communicate as it wasn't possible before, even if we attempted it, we never listened, we never understood.

 

I do not regret loving you as my love was true and selfless, it was the fire that burns within each tender soul when someone, somewhere, can be perfectly content with another as they stare into their eyes and reality shuts off, and only sweet embrace remains.

 

While it takes two to Tango in a breakup, I am completely remorseful of my actions. I cannot express enough how deeply sorry I am for hurting you. I hope someday you might realize how you hurt me, betrayed me. I hope someday you might realize why. Despite this, I do care about you, and while I cannot be with you, I wish the best for you. I pray you never feel as hopeless and dejected as I felt. Every day, your soul rips in two by seeing the other person you love begin to move on and forget about you.

 

I feel that when two lovers truly care for each other they make the relationship work even through the dark times because the other person is worth the struggle. What we had was wonderful. The understanding, the warmth, the loving bliss was all present. The only regret I have is that we could not persevere through the difficult moments, as I felt we could through couple's counseling or therapy. Every situation has a solution, and these rough patches can be dealt with by love and effort by both partners.

 

Thank you for being a part of my life. You have taught me so much about myself and what it means to love another. Thank you for the experience of getting to know and love you. Walking beside you, I felt proud to call you mine, as you were the essence of beauty and grace in my life. And while you are gone, I am thankful for the memories. No one will ever know what it was like to love you at the period of your life besides myself, and I believe that is beautiful.

 

If you have read this letter this far, I want to thank you. You could have easily thrown this letter in the trash. I can't thank you enough for being a part of my life at one point. If I have given you at least one moment of happiness, I feel blessed to have made a difference in your life. I wish our lives could have traveled different paths, but not all things are meant to last, and not all things are meant to end.

 

While I did have a grudge against you during the first month of our separation, I do not have one now. I pray for your happiness and well-being as I always have. Once again, thank you for the experience of knowing you.

 

Sincerely,



Gabriel

Read the first sentence, stopped reading. That's exactly what your ex will do. Not only is sending a letter to your ex clingy and needy as f*ck, but that first sentence was absolutely weak as hell. DO NOT SEND THAT, or any other letter.

Oh yes, this will work, just like the 500 threads of letters sent to exes on this board did.

Deep down you are hoping for reconciliation or a respond...That is false hope! It's not going to happen. If it does, it's not going to work out. You learned something from this relationship - great! Now, accept the fact that is over, embrace it and move on.
