It's time you knew the truth

I'm hopelessly in love with Emily Wise. She broke my heart - mine and a thousand others - and I saw no other escape - I had to leave. I only hope I'll find the strength one day to return and face the depth of loss that drove me from my friends and my home.

I don't blame her. It was my own foolish heart that led me so far astray. And this in spite of all the truth my wiser mind tried to make me see, and all the honesty she was brave enough to offer me.

I know I'll heal in time, but for now I'm seeking comfort in the unfamiliar; in the faces of strangers and the unknown streets of places far from the haunting pain that plagued me every time I met her shining eyes and felt the warmth of her beautiful smile.

Pray for me; for my strength and my peace, and pray that I might see my way to a life beyond the agony of my shattered, unrequited love.

  1. Your genius is beyond that of a lemon. I miss you like I miss accidentally sipping on cigarette butts that I put in my coffee while driving- after a root canal- and it having no where to go besides down my throat. All of which happened today.
    Truly yours-
    Forever-
    Mean it-
    xoxoxoxox-

    Why didn't you just tell me-
    Emily
