the letter i wish you had written

dearest nathania,

thank you so much for the time you have given me. it's been a gift, a delight, a light shining down on this turning point in my life that i made in the wake of meeting you. i have enjoyed every moment you've shared with me and all the ones in between.

yet here we are, at a parting of ways, and while i can't possibly explain to your satisfaction the reasons why i can't continue forward in the same direction as we have been going, know that in all the words yet to be spoken {or not}, all the spaces and silences to come, that i don't regret the paths we explored and the time we shared. you are a captivating creature, one that i love and am proud to call a friend.

you have breathed new life into quiet spaces and that has left me gratefully yours,

t.

now switch the names and know that i do find softness to share in hard places, but you don't seem to want it right now, so here it is. perhaps for you to find another time.
