I just got your email slowly scrolled it down you wrote about the changes that you're making now I just couldn't take it and cried to think how you easily reminded me you found someone new You said you were worried bout my state of mind wished things worked out different but know things heal with time You want us to stay friends Feel free to call and talk so all those years together won't be completely lost. So I'll make this one reply to you and ask you what I should do...... with these photographs of you and me this wedding ring and memories our first home a captured thrill we proudly bought in Halton hills This bedroom with no pillow talk Your Christmas cards saved in a box the future that you promised me these shattered dreams and used to be's. I'm hoping you'll answer offer me some help but you're still making changes and thinking bout yourself I just can't imagine how the years slipped softly by while you made a pretense of loving me with lies. I'll make this one reply to you and ask you what I should do...... with these photographs of you and me this wedding ring and memories our first home a captured thrill we proudly bought in Halton hills This bedroom with no pillow talk Your Christmas cards saved in a box the future that you promised me these shattered dreams and used to be's. |

Even though this hit close to home. I was touched by the read and emotions behind it. Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence the most. |
