Dear Puppy,

It’s been nine months since we last talked and the other night I dreamed of you. But it wasn’t my normal dream of reliving the past. This time I didn’t wake up in a sweat and in pain for what I had done to you. No, in this dream I watched you move on. I watched you fall in love with another woman. And I woke up with a smile. I want that for you. I want love and happiness and light. I know life isn’t always like that, but I do hope you get your fair share of it. The last time I contacted you it was for closure and since then I’ve been working on it. This dream feels like the end of that for me. I’m still sorry for the pain I caused you. I’m still sorry for not walking away when I realized our beliefs were just too different to coexist. But now I feel a lightness as if those things are done and over with. I can’t change them, but I can move on. Stop contacting you. Allow you to live a good life away from me and the memories of me. And so I blocked you on FB. Not out of hate or pain, but because I want that door to close for good. I don’t want us to have to wonder if it will be open again. I hope that you have a good full life. I hope that you love with all your heart and I hope you trust yourself even if doing so has gotten you into trouble before.

Goodbye and good luck!
