Dear KB,

I know you might not be expecting this message so soon, but this was on my heart. I can’t prolong the undeniable any longer. I’ve been through a lot with you, most of which I wish I could’ve experience without the pain. But still, the progression of it all was beautiful because it made you happy in the end. I guess I have to be the one to close this story of “us”. I never thought I’d have the strength to do this, but time apart has afforded me the wisdom to know —when. No phone call, meeting in person, etc will make it any easier. I know we’ve not found a reason to dislike each other or fall out of love, but our love has changed. I do not love you like I once did when I was 19/20 yrs old. Me -nearing 26, and ready to see what God has in store for me, only has enough room in my heart to wish you well and not look back. I want nothing but the best for you in every aspect of life, and the best is yet to come for you and your family. Being in your life in any capacity poses a risk to all of it. I can’t say I love you and threaten the best things to ever happen to you. This truly is goodbye..
