Dear My Love,

     I am so sorry. I shouldn't have hurt you like this, but...my heart found a new beholder. It is in the hands of a gentler man. He's a man whom I know will treat my heart as a sacred gifta and not some toy that is meant to be broken. He's a man whom I know will be there for me when no one else will. He's also a man that will treat me the way a woman of God is supposed to be treated. He is a man that loves me unconditionally.
     I have waited for you to love me in return for so long. I had accepted your ignorance of me and my feelings for you. I had accepted your hatred at the times you hated me and wouldn't speak to me or even look at me. I had accepted it all because I knew what you were goung through, because I had been there myself, and because I had loved you so deeply.
     On my part...it was only natural for my heart to look elsewhere for returned affection. They say that love that is only one-sided doesn't last. Seven years...seven long years have I loved you. I honestly tried to wait, but my heart just let go of you. It couldn't cling any longer to a man that was so blind to what was before him. My heart was tired and weary from all of the attemps to show you my love.
     I still love you, but...the feeling hs changed. It is no longer that of wanting to call you my "LOVER", but of which is just family.

               I am so sorry!!!

                   Your unwanted and cheated,
                       Sweet Darling

This piece had a nice and ironic twist at the end.  Good way of saying that sympathy only goes so far; it must be reciprocated.

Life's short.  Think hard!
Me!
