the number 26 would always have a significant meaning to me. tomorrow could’ve been another day of celebration for us, but things weren’t just meant for us, i guess?
believe me, i tried. i tried to endure my longing for affection. i tried to extend my patience, hoping that one day, you’ll return the same energy i’ve been giving you for the past 8 years.
it was never an easy decision to end things with you. i don’t know if, in the future, i’ll regret giving up on us. i was more at peace when i was with you. but peace won’t suffice because i need love– an unconditional love.
i took a risk by trying it out with someone. am i happy? yes. i feel so loved. i feel needed. i am his priority. but i’m also scared because things are just too good to be true. i’m scared that maybe one day, karma will hunt me for hurting you, for leaving you.
gabe, you will always be in my heart. i could not even throw away the letters you wrote me. your shirts are still in my cabinet. the gifts you gave me, i still have them. i could never not care for you because you will always be the man that i first loved. you will always be my best friend.
you will always be “that man” no one can ever replace in my life. you will always be my great love.
till we meet again, my love.
