Farewell letter to my significant other
I want to start this saying that I do not blame you or hate you nor have hard feelings towards you. I will talk to you with love. I'm not your enemy. None of this is your fault. You deserve the peace and tranquility to know you did a lot of good things and I don't want to fight. I don't want this to turn into a bitter farewell.
You've lit my way through the darkest days, you've been a key part in my happiness, motivation and life project.
I know you never meant to hurt me, and I never meant to hurt you but both of us have been through a lot together and individually, we crashed. We both were dealing with our demons and woes. We were victims of our own choices. Despite that, we both tried to look after each other's wellness and to make things work.
There are many things that we could overcome together, and some others that we still need to work on by ourselves. I agree that it's a good idea to not be together for now. I've thought about this and we can wreck the future by not fixing the present.
I also know that you're not ready. And I know that you're scared. What I'll tell you is that I'm not giving up on you just yet because I believe in you, I believe in us as long as we love each other. And loving also means knowing how to wait, loving means taking time to heal before walking away.
I've seen the side of you that you're afraid to let out and it's marvelous. I know you can get through this and I'd really like to see you sharing with the world the best version of yourself because I know you have a lot to offer and you have what it takes to rise and succeed.
I'll say it definitely caught me by surprise but at the same time it was seen coming. It would have been easier if you hurt me because I could've blamed you but I don't because I understand where you're at at this moment. You have a battle you need to fight on your own. You have to stop running away from yourself and it's hard, I can tell because I've been there. But you'll be alright. I'll be alright.
I admire you, I've always said that. And it takes a lot of courage to give the step you gave. You have all my respect and support.
I'm still firm with my goals and aspirations. I'm still pursuing success and self realization for my future and I'd love if you become a part of it, but if not I'll still achieve it.
If "forever and ever and a day" allows it, maybe there is a time and place for us, maybe there is a future waiting for us but today is not the day. Let's not make any decisions for now. Forever and ever and a day is so much time and it's a long path that won't always be perfect, it will be full of challenges and complications and this may be a part of that path. Or maybe our "forever and ever and a day" takes a different direction in which we may or may not meet again.
I keep the best of us and cherish our time together. I want you to know that besides this separation, you are not alone. I'm with you in every step you take and in the moment you're ready, if life decides so, I'll come back to you to pick up where we left off the life project we started together. And if our paths do not meet again, I'll remember you with peace, joy and a very special love, forever and ever and a day.
I love you, my Prince Charming, forever and ever and a day.

This is not like all my submissions, this is a letter I just wrote for my significant other, things ended last night and I'll fly soon to pick up my stuff from the apartment and say goodbye.

How sad but when hurt closes the door a new wonder is waiting to open a new door. Peace to you dear one. Hugs, O

All these feelings and thoughts must have been very difficult to put down into words.
It is an honest letter through and through.
There is no harshness and bitterness but this is where you find yourself in this unfortunate reality.
Somehow it feels very inappropriate to be weighing in, as a stranger, on something so personal and important.
Hopefully the recipient of this letter will be able to accept it in the good spirit that appears to have been written in.
The fact that you took the time and were considerate and sincere enough to express this shows you're a good person.
Mistakes are there for us to learn from and grow to become better people than who we were before we made them.
Let me not lead your path astray with my rambling.
All The Best & May The Heavens Look Upon You With Favour.

When it time to go then move on. Time will heal alkwounds and yoyu will get on the horse again and find true love. Keep on writing,
… no blaming no shaming .. seems like you have accountability… sounds like you have grown tremendously,
and in relationships sometimes we grow together and sometimes we grow apart
we can’t cram everything that we feel into a letter but I think you’ve done a very good job at explaining who, what, when, where and how..
break ups are one of the most difficult things that we must go through in life..
I’d say at least an 8 on a scale of 10 the stress meter.
… i think you have done it honorably and with respect with both parties in the mind
the best part about the letter is that a person can read it over and over again
you’ve done a fantastic job expressing your thoughts and feelings without bashing blaming and insulting and that’s beautiful!
i’ve often wondered how people could dislike or even hate someone they shared their most intimate moments with..
hopefully someday you will be able to be friendly in presence or thought..
that will take even more growth..
