Goodbye My Love

Dear Erick, i remember like its yesterday when we first met. Second Sunday of the cold July few days to my parents anniversary. you said,"Hi am Erick and I would love to know you!" We exchanged numbers we shared photos of places we been to day till the wee hours of the morning we would talk tirelessly. The world,politics,technology,time,spaces there is no stone we didn't turn. We did not always share same view but always we agreed to disagree. Haha! You kept saying, "I have found my match!" We clicked so well! The connection was undeniable. Then that weekend you left for fishing in Ireland we hardly talked i was so miserable. I remember thinking,"am falling in love with this man!" That Sunday when you got a connection in London the first words you said when were "I have a feeling there is a big fight awaiting." Haha! Though that was our first fight it was the day we found our center. It has been so amazing ever since. We have had our heavenly moment Skype can tell you that. We have had our share of pain too Whatsapp can testify. Our major break up on your birthday last year The down time we both went through beginning of this year... But somehow somehow still our friendship and our love remains a constant force. Atleast not until lately when all the crude fighting began. You say i blame you all the time that am playing hard ball trying to push you away that i do not trust you. But you been the one changing the game. I understand your life is speeding up but you forget the results of that on us. Beyond chasing contracts and making millions you forgot there is a bride back home in need of your quality time. You said you had thought of it hard enough and it is better that we break up. I deserve better you said we are not happy anymore. Obviously you have a point. We are not happy as we need to. I think i idolize you too much that i forget you human in need of my affection as much as i need yours. But you also forgot your duty to silence my insecurities with reassurance and tenderness like you used to. Four days and five nights still i wait a word a text a sign a clue that you have not given up on us. But the silence remains. En zo mijn lifde (and so my love ik hou van je (i do love you ik can romans schrijven over ons (i can write novels about us ik zal waarschijnlijk een Mills&Boon versie van ons schrijven (I will probably write a Mills&Boon version of us Maar (But als dit is waar onze altijd eindigt (if this is where our forever ends dan will ik dat je weet (then i want you to know HET IS EEN MOOI LEVEN AAN UR ZIJDE GEWEEST.(IT HAS BEEN A BEAUTIFUL LIFETIME BY YOUR SIDE) However should you decide to change your mind you can come back anytime but like yourself i too will need a few days to figure out things. Because when we vowed for better or worse you should have known that this is one of such ugly times. You should have never left. Goodbye my love. Or is it?
