Love Letter Contest Winner!

Salute to the Winner of the Love Letter Contest. This letter was a favorite due to it’s rawness of emotion and desire to try love again. Sometimes we expect love to be a pretty picture that is framed correctly the first time. The beauty comes when you know you’ve reflected upon your past and want to try again.

Dear Love,

I continually tell you this, but nothing has changed, so bare with me.
You’ve had me from the beginning. The very first time we met, your “Big Move” sealed the deal. It was only a matter of time and that time came quick. It was you and I, an inseparable two. Then you introduced me to your son. Not soon after, your son became my son. We became a Triangle Offense. All 3 of us hand in hand, with nothing but the future ahead of us. In so little time, we felt so much. Maybe that’s also why we blew up.

Promises broken.
Feelings of betrayal.
Love destroyed.

I never knew exactly how much I meant to you. By the time I figured it out, 2 years had passed and you decided to talk to me again. Even still, you admit to feeling as though we could reunite and be great. You admit you still love me. You still feel the love, and it still feels right. You used the words “It” and “Soul Mate”. Even if for only a second, you felt it again, just like you felt it before. And if it’s still there, why must you suppress it?

Push me away.
Deny love.
Deny us.

You took a chance before, I know it’s a lot to ask, but why not take another?
You said yourself you think it’d work out this time. It’s not a move backwards.

We’ve grown.
We grew together.
We grew apart.

The way I see it now, we can only help one another at this point. Be everything we were supposed to be before. Just give me a chance. A REAL CHANCE!!!

No one knows you like I do. Simple as that. Hell, no one knows me like you. There are a million reasons not to resurrect our love, but I just need you to believe in 1 reason to start anew.

We’re living an epic love story. We tore each other apart but now it’s our time to reconnect. Our time apart has taught us many lessons. We can take those lessons and put them into action. We are both hurt and scarred. I know you’re inside your own cage. I want to help free you, as I did once before. The third time might be the charm, but we only need a 2nd try.

I can honestly say I am the man I am today because of you. Yes, some of it is just for you, but I realized my change started when I made the change for myself. That’s something that you wanted me to see from the beginning. You saw me for both the man that I was and what I could be. That is also the way same I saw in you. I didn’t see your hurt, pain, scars, and mental blockades. No, I saw the beauty, greatness, the love, the creativity, and the depth of your being. I saw YOU. I still see you, and you see me. So, let’s see where love takes us. You take care of me and I’ll take care of us.

I love you.

“No one will . . .”

Love,
