It’s sad that this is happening.  I had dreams that we were meant to be, together for a long time.  I felt like I brought you into my reality, it felt like you were made for me.  But we ain’t “we”.  And yes, this does hurt.  But time is what she needs and at her age in life then I must concur.  Let her live.  Let her strengthen herself, spiritually and mentally.  Then maybe one day we can revisit these emotions that brought us together.  You never know if this is over forever.  Only time will tell if we get back together.  Even if not I will always remember the pleasure she brought to me.  The happiness I felt, the appreciation I have, the laughs we shared were great.  But it’s all in the past.  Our lives right now are on two different paths.  I’m standing at the door of “30” ready to open it.  While your life is just beginning.  I can’t expect you to handle all of this.  I get it and I’ll miss the time we spent together.  This is not the end.  We will continue to be friends.  But our time is not now………..
