J, I'll live after all. - w4m (away) 26yr

"J,

For the first time in almost 4 years, I kissed someone who wasn't you. I am awkward and fighting the urge to bolt like a horse, to run off into the night and get far away from this guy. But he seems nice, and he's not you, and one day at a time I am learning that you didn't love me, because I didn't know how to love you back in a genuine way. Sorry for all of the time we wasted together. For what it's worth, I loved you as much as I was capable. You made the right decision and it has forced me to grow up in a lot of ways. So I should say thank you, because I'm in a better place now and have a chance to create a good life for myself. Thank you. I miss you sometimes, but a little less each day.
