Dear Mara...
I miss you.
I know, it was only
two days ago
that you sent me away.

Two days feels like
eternity.

My hand is shaking
as I write this.
I'm so afraid to lose you,
but I know that maybe
you need to lose me.
That's why you'll never
see this letter...
I don't want you to hurt
at all, and the guilt
would destroy me if I made you
hurt still more.

I can be strong for you,
I can take the pain by myself,
for you,
even when you don't want
to acknowledge my existence.

Mara...
the name means bitterness.
I will never be bitter towards you.
I fervently hope that bitterness
will never stain your thoughts of me.
I would pray, but
I think I've lost that
priviledge,
so I will instead
sing softly to myself
of how much I love you,
and mourn in silence.

There's nothing like a good fight with a horse to put your problems into perspective
