Andrew,

It’s only been a few days and I honestly can’t thank you enough for being the wonderful man I always knew you were. Anyone else would have hurt me in such horrible ways. Yes, I broke up with you, but it has nothing to do with a lack of love for you. Honestly, you’re such a great guy, and we just weren’t working out. You and I are both so very different in the way we love…. right now, I want to go crawl in bed with you sleeping and curl up under your arms. That just isn’t right though. I love you and I let you go.

If I could apologize for only one thing, it would be that you had to fall in love with me. It’s so stupid since I have no control over that, but part of the reason you love me so much is that I care for both you and me in such great amounts. Despite your disagreement on my reasons for breaking up… I still think I made the choice that is best for us both. It’s that drive, to do right by you and do right by me, that makes me so firm in my decision. If I were any other man, I would fall right back into your wonderful arms, because who could give up such a tremendous love?

Someone who really accepts that the love is real, and solid, and good, but not enough to make this relationship work. I’m sorry that I had to be that person who doesn’t shy away from the hard decisions and doesn’t take them back. In the end, I hope I’m right, I hope I made the best choice, and I cannot even ask for your forgiveness. I simply hope that one day you understand, and I hope this leads to greater happiness and more love for you.

With all my love,

Matthew
