Dear Self,
How are you? It's been a long time since I had this chance to talk to you. But, you see, I have been so busy, lately. I have been swamped with too much work that I haven't had time to, even, say hi.
Life has been so difficult, of late. I know, you've been crying, silently, too. But, take heart, things will get better very soon.
You might be wondering why I say this; but, yes, you'll be smiling soon. I guess, you've been expecting me to tell you this; but, we both know, it's time to say goodbye. For now. No tears, okay? This is for your own good.
I have to leave you because I need to rearrange our life. I need to find some way, in order to fix what has been broken and lost. We need this, you and I.
I need to allow us both to heal. Life cannot move on, if we both keep pining for could-have-beens. Mistakes happen. People leave. We both need to accept those losses.
Take care of yourself. Let's both do our best to be fine. In time, when the wounds aren't so fresh and pain isn't all, we see; then, we'll see each other again.
For now, be strong. I shall be strong, too. Let's make this work. For us. God be with you, Self. I love you!
Always,
Me
