Dear Ex, 

Today I pretended that you are on your deathbed. You thanked me for loving you so much. Asked forgiveness for not being able to love me the same way, and let me know that you loved me too. You told me to keep on living and not to waste my life being miserable. If I meet someone new, you would want me to be happy. 

I said, I love you I love you I love you. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I kissed your hand as you took your last breath. 

You are dead to me. Now I can live.
