EPT
We're done. After our last conversation, I'm going to accept that. After two plus years together as a couple, and another as friends, our time has come to an end. And, as much as I've wanted to give up these past few weeks without you, and prayed death would come for me, it's through your kindness that I realize I can't let that happen. I've only ever wanted happiness for you. You've always felt the same towards me. Things may be over, but I face an uncertain future with the knowledge that you don't regret our time together. I don't either. You are the most special person I've ever met. I'm honored to have shared your life with you.
I might not see the light at the end of the tunnel now, but I'm going to honor our time together and press on for you. I'll keep trying my hardest and I'll do so believing I will find purpose and meaning of my own as I go. I know you won't stop fighting either, and that you'll achieve happiness, even though we won't be able to share it.
I love you. You love me. Things didn't work out in the end, and we won't be together anymore, but I won't forget you. I won't forget the lessons I learned as we grew together and the wonderful memories we shared. I won't forget the very first time I saw you across the hotel lobby. I won't forget the thousands of hours we spent on skype calls. I won't forget those wonderful days and nights we shared together beneath a sky full of nothing but stars. I know you won't either.
And, so, I'll quote to an old song I've liked for a year long time, albeit with a small amendment.
We're done, but it's not over.
We'll start it again, after the end of the day.
It keeps getting better.
Don't be afraid...
We won't do it together, but we'll keeping living, and we will find the happiness we've always wanted for one another.
Goodbye.
