"He told me so....."
  by touchdapearl2



I found the letter you left the day you moved on
I picked it up and remove it from the formal envelope you left it in
Im thinking how childish of him
As I read it I noticed it was read out loud
The voice of this woman was not reading with hate
She was reading as if she had already forgiven you
And blamed herself for the mistake you made
By walking out of her life
Even tho,my heart for you was filled with hate
The person reading this letter was controlled
Even tho, I wanted to destroy everything that was left of you
But still I continue to read this letter
I found that I was to blame
That you had been tired of my bullshit
And the only way you saw fit to get my attention...... was to leave
As I stand here with this letter in my hand I had several reflections
I reflected on how may times you might've mention you were tired
But thru all the complaints
I realized we always patched things up with passion
It was the only way I knew how
I remember the last time we layed together in each other arms you was crying
I held you tighter and smiled......
The next day you were gone
As I turn the beaten tear stained letter over
Realizing how much it must've hurt for you to write this
And the amount of time it must've took
Trying to reasure myself that I wasnt going to cry
I closed my eye's
And daydreamed of the day we met
And the promise you made of loving me forever
Thru all my handups
And now I sit here with a letter
There's not even a picture of us left here
Nothing but this letter
This is the first time I felt all by myself
And I guess that was the plan huh
Left in our shell of what was always us
With nothing left of you but this letter
Its been 3yrs since I last saw you
And it was then I cried after remembering seeing the face of a happy man
With his wife and kids
And it was this letter of the pass that wouldnt let me move on...
I remember saying to self as soon as I get home it would be destroyed
Because indeed you had moved on
Its funny my ego had you coming home anyday now
Even tho we hadn't spoken and the years had passed between us
But I was still single waiting I guess
Until you spoke and said it had been 3yrs since you last saw me
And asked how was life treating the queen
I smile and said .....well thank you
But you knew it was a lie.....
So you took me in your arms and held me tight and said you needed that for closure
And you hoped it helped me also
And you turned and walked away....

Wow! The emotions in this write are strong. The story really was too close to home for me. I want to cry for this lady as well as the man. I felt her pain at being left with no closing remarks. I hoped that he has healed, but also has matured. Relationships should never be ended this way...

Wow... True growth resides here. The easy road would've been to make excuses. The maturity lies in accepting the errors, and moving on... Great job lady
