One Spring Day

06/17/2023

Dear R.,

I miss You today. Today marks 2 months since the day he told me he loves you.

I miss You today. I miss the You-before-Him.

I miss the time we had. I miss the chat we shared. I miss the secrets we confided in one another.

I miss our good times, I miss our quarrels and arguments.

I miss your laugh, I miss your stupid jokes and crazy ideas.

I miss my “sister from another parents”.

SO MUCH…do I miss the You-before-Him. My once-upon-a-time-best-friend.

At times, I am still asking myself how did we get to this point, the point of no return. I know I am as much to blame as anyone else.

That is why I still miss you, the You-before-Him.

But I know I need to learn to forgive myself. I need to move on. Because You are no longer with me, the You-before-Him.
