you beautiful thing!
The first time I clapped eyes on you my heart unfolded to a size I didn't know it could, colored itself red and put on its dancing shoes without asking permission.
That party-heart seeked you out like an unruly magnet and I was a willing slave. You made my knees weak, my world new, and after spending about 2 minutes with you I knew that we would change each other.
My world opened up like a oyster and love and happiness flew into it to make unexpected pearls of joy. I was a blubbering heap of mush, a champion among people. My heart stopped daily, then went into overdrive when you called. My health deteriorated. I felt better than I had in years.
The truth is that you're in the Top Three Best Things that ever happened to me.
So:
Thank you for three great years of loving you.
Thank you for letting me in.
Thank you for being the most excellent mirror I could have asked for. You showed me up no end.
We broke up three months ago and I am certain that its the right thing for now even though I don't always want to believe it and the truth is I haven't let you go.
This is a Bad since it interferes with my happiness and so I have to let you go in as many different ways as its going to take for me to let you go.
So today I let you go like a pretty balloon in the late afternoon and watch you drift slowly out of the parameters of my life and into the night.
I wish you the absolute best in the future,
may you flourish and grow.
May you learn to fly helicopters and find joy in the little things.
I'm rooting for you.
Yours truly,
Alice
