I was in love with you.

Not for very long, but long enough.

You struck me as no one ever had, and probably won’t for some time.

I was drawn to you because you awoke parts of me that were dying to be alive.

I devoted so much emotion to you, and you let me.

Sometimes I wish you had just let me have it, let me go.

This of course was the only way to do it.

I searched my soul, my mind and my heart for years, wondering what you were in my life for.

I know now that I misunderstood the reason for a long time.

You showed me those words that sparked my path to true happiness.

And for that, I will thank you all my days.

You inspired some of my greatest thoughts.

You showed me a city’s heart and now I have made it mine.

We are so alike, and that’s why you were introduced into my life. No one else could have understood what my soul needed to hear and be shown.

You are about to get something that I know you have thirsted for, for a long time.

I will cherish that last night at the cafe discussing music. It was the perfect way to end an era.

May your journey be long, and now I wish you the best of luck.

Forever, your friend.
