Darling S,

Although it breaks my heart to write this, I think it’s time to finally call it a day. I know we’ve been breaking up for some time now but we have stayed in touch via text.

I love your texts and hearing from you and seeing your icon ping up makes my heart race and I hate the thought of not hearing from you.  It may or may not have been for the best, but this is a horrible situation and I wanted to hear from you and hope you felt the same.  I love you and wanted to keep trying to be involved with you.

However, things have changed dramatically now. Now you are seeing someone else I can no longer talk to you. I’m not going to become like your ex Jack, who you still emailed and we chatted about and just be there for a chat. I don’t want you to reach the point when you roll your eyes on receipt of a text from me, as you become emotionally involved with someone else. Sooner or later I’d get a ‘dear john’ from you and I definitely don’t want that.  (Been there before, done that, got the t-shirt.)

Sadly, I don’t believe it’s possible for lovers to become friends. It’s far too painful. (Again, been there tried that)

Thank you for the time we had together, you are a beautiful, amazing, wonderful woman and I am so lucky to have known and be with you.

If it wasn’t for my son and trying to keep my family together we’d be an amazing couple.  I know it is my fault we aren’t and you’ve done everything you can to hold on to me, I couldn’t have asked for more, which makes it even harder for me.

I don’t think you realise how much you mean to me and how devastating it is for me to write this.

Thank you for being my lover and my best friend.

Thank you my darling, beautiful, adorable, caring, sexy, funny, lovable, wonderful S.
