(26/31) Dear SB

26 of 31 - SOLSC 2022


Dear SB,

It's not you.
It's not even me.

I enjoy you very much and if I could, I wouldn't be leaving. But I am not free to make those decisions so I have to say goodbye to you. 

I am discombobulated and won't sleep well tonight. I will be concerned about the alarm going off in the morning and what comes next. I have tried to put that part of my life out of my mind while we were together.

The wonderful memories we have created will stay with me. I am thankful for a chance to get to know myself better due to time with you - thankful for the relaxation you brought to my life. The photos I snapped during our time together will sustain me in days to come, bringing a smile to my face. I look forward to our paths crossing again.

Much love,
Kristi



Edited to disclose SB's full name: Spring Break

  2. Such a love letter. Someone who is dear, but not everlasting. Oh but the memories. I hope they will sustain until you meet again.

    1. Now to pick a picture to put on my all as a reminder, for those low moments when I need to remember all the feelings.

    1. Inspired by necessity. I wanted to crawl into bed, but still needed to slice.

  4. Alas, parting is such sweet sorrow... May your fond memories and recharged batteries see you through to the next big break.
