Eighteen years of shared laughter, tears, and a love that defied time. We built a foundation of trust and commitment, navigating the twists and turns of life's journey together. We may not have walked down the aisle in a grand ceremony, but our love was a masterpiece painted with the brushstrokes of countless memories and shared experiences.

But as the years turned into decades, and our commitment grew stronger, I find myself lost in the shadows of your distractions. The devotion I once cherished has become a fragile whisper, drowned out by the noise of your never-ending work demands, the lure of biking adventures, and the captivating allure of online games.

I yearn for your attention, to be seen and heard, to have conversations that delve beyond the surface. But our interactions have become mere fragments of what they once were, fleeting moments snatched between the demands of your career, the thrill of cycling, and the virtual realms that hold your fascination.

I sit here, a mere spectator in our own lives, as you pour your time and energy into endeavors that leave me feeling invisible and disconnected. In the stillness of the night, I lie awake, yearning for the connection we once shared. The nights we spent talking until dawn, exploring the depths of our souls, have become a distant memory. Now, my heart aches for conversations beyond surface-level exchanges, for the undivided attention that seems to elude me. 

Do you remember the dreams we shared? The promises we made to always prioritize each other's happiness? Yet, as time slipped through our fingers, it feels as though the weight of responsibility and outside distractions has eroded the very essence of our connection. Do you not see the emptiness that pervades our once vibrant home? Can you not sense the ache in my heart as I long for the warmth of your presence, for meaningful conversations that transcend the surface level? I feel like a forgotten piece of a puzzle, left behind in the pursuit of external passions while our connection withers away. I wonder, as you immerse yourself in the virtual worlds and physical challenges that captivate your attention, do you not realize the toll it takes on our relationship? The bond we once shared, built on love, understanding, and shared dreams, seems to fade further with each passing day.

I long to be seen, to have your eyes meet mine with a warmth that ignites my soul. To hear your voice, not just through hurried phone calls or brief exchanges, but through genuine conversations that delve into the depths of our hopes, fears, and dreams.

Our love story deserves more than the sidelines of your endeavors. It deserves center stage, where we can dance to the rhythm of our hearts, nourishing the bond that held us together for all those years. The weight of the years spent together should be a reminder of the depth of our love, not an excuse for complacency.

I am not asking you to abandon your passions or sacrifice your personal growth.  But I implore you to find a balance, to see the void that has engulfed our once vibrant love story.  I ask for nothing extravagant, only the simple gift of your time and attention. Let us set aside the distractions that pull us apart and rediscover the magic that once bound us. Together, we can reignite the fire that illuminated our path, transcending the mundane and embracing the extraordinary love we once shared.

For within the depths of my longing, I still believe in the power of our connection. I long for the day  when we can sit together, truly present in the moment, and rediscover the love that brought us together. Until then, I'll wait, hoping that our paths will intersect once more, and that the essence of our love will be rekindled, transcending the distractions that currently consume us.  I believe that we can reclaim the love that has withstood the test of time. Let us go on a journey of rediscovery, hand in hand, where the echoes of our past will guide us towards a future filled with renewed passion, heartfelt conversations, and a love that knows no bounds.

For now, I will wait.
