[Girlfriend's name],
They say "we may not be sure when love begins, but we always know exactly when it ends."
 I don't know what love is, but the feelings began in your basement in winter.
By the time I got home that night, there was no question.

It was love.

There was never a question;

Until now.

Saturday, I knew.
Monday, I knew.
Monday night, as I was lying awake, thinking about us,

I wasn't sure.

They say that when love happens, you know.
I don't know anymore.

In my eyes, you screwed up, but it's my fault.
I made you screw up.
I pursued something; I said things I didn't want to say. I heard things I didn't want to hear.
I am sorry for everything.
I wish I had never read that message. I wish that conversation never happened. I was out of line the whole time, but didn't realize it. You didn't stop me, either,

But I don't hold that against you.
I also regret to say that I have not decided what I am going to do. I have tocome to terms with what happened, even though I don't want to.
If you still love me, then I am sorry for the pain I am about to cause, but I need some time. I need you to wait for me to make my desicion. I need someone to talk to, and I have a few people who may be able to help me.I hope to have it figured out soon, Please don't give up on me before then.

I loved you so much, and regret that I never explained how much I loved you.
Some good advice from an unexpected source says that I still love you, it's just clouded by what happened; reasoning that if I didn't love you anymore, this wouldn't be upseting me as much as it is.
I wish I could conclude this note with something like an "I love you," but I can't say that with enough certainty, and I don't want to lie to you.
I wish I could take it all back and tell you everything's allright,

But I can't

And it's not.

I'm sorry.

Wow, this could easily be used as the start of a poetic-prose novel or even the start of an epic monster of a complicated love poem. True love's course is never a sraight line. Write the hell on..

*smiles* I know you don't think so but this is such a wonderful, candid dispaly of self insecurity. You're over thinking it sweety. Stop thinking about it and just feel it until it goes away. And if its fire never dies you are one lucky displaced soul

This made me sniffle. I might need a tissue, and not any tissue either. The tissue with lotion in it that the little cartoon boys and girls use on my TV. I couldn't have pictured something so lovely coming from someone as hot and tough looking as you. If

I like it a lot. And it's so true. Especially where you say you won't say I love you because you're not sure and you don't want to lie

Not easily does love cease... but in the blink of an eye, it does change. From something so pure to something so unsure. As unfair and confusing as it may be, in the big scheme of things, it's always for the best. I wish you luck... great write. ~Heather
