Dear Future-Me,
I've been writing letters 2 God but it's starting 2 feel useless. He already knows what's up. He saw Raven ignoring my pages all night, doing whatever it was she was doing.
Do u still think of her always? Can the pain from her lies still be felt or is it a distant memory? Hopefully things are cool between u 2. Right now I'm anticipating the day she finally decides 2 leave me. I know it's coming. For a man who stays rooted in control, I've been pretty careless about it. Will I ever admit 2 myself why I didn't just leave first?
I want 2 imagine and say u've had plenty of women after her. That u and ur guitar toured the world 50 times over and ur heart has been on a wild ride of give and take, just like the old days. But I feel like that's not the case. Something is changing in me. I'm at a crossroads and I can take the bachelor route, the easy way out, but when I look at Ace that "something else" starts yearning.
Someone tied u down, huh? And 4 good. How many kids u got now? Hopefully Ace didn't have 2 wait 2 long for his little sister. The experience must've been exhilarating, 2 watch ur wife's stomach grow, 2 recognize the strength of a woman as she gives birth, and those very first moments meeting the little piece of u and her. The experience is so exhilarating that u and her do it over and over again until u have ur own starting line-up running around the house.
4 now, I have 2 get through the hard part. Tomorrow I'm meeting Raven's family and though my gut says 2 stay away, I'm sitting here on this plane. I figure I owe it 2 Ace 2 at least try. Just hoping the regret isn't 2 bad, and that it doesn't carry on 2 long.
I have so many questions only u can answer. A part of me still wishes Raven is that One but 4 selfish reasons. I just don't want our split 2 affect my son the way the end of my parents left me.
I bet it's peaceful where u are, wherever u are. Heat on ur skin as grandkids play in the yard kind of peaceful. By now I hope u're gray and back 2 natural. I pray u got ur music back and that u still play for ur wife, just 4 her sometimes. Cherish her, because she saved ur life.
I'm happy u found a love that slowed u down. Can't wait 2 be u.
Love God Always,
