Dear ____,
What are you doing?
I gave up and I let you go, because I knew that was my only choice. You aren't the same person I fell in love with all those years ago. We haven't been in love for a long time (I don't think you ever were), and the damage we've dealt each other is truly irreparable. After all this time, I've finally accepted that truth, and I closed that chapter in my life. Then I met someone else, someone who brought me the first real happiness I've felt in years. He makes me smile, and laugh, and feel. He's crazy about me, and he treats me the way I always dreamt of, but never really believed would happen.
Now, suddenly, you're acting like you're in love with me again. I've never seen you like this, and it's completely thrown me for a loop. It's disturbing, because even though you insist you have none, I can't help but wonder what your agenda is. It also makes me incredibly sad, because it's too late, and I can't ever let you back in. If I had any emotions left for you at all, what you're doing would break my heart. The tenderness and attention and love you're giving me now is all I ever wanted from you, but it's far too late now. I don't want it anymore. I'm not encouraging you at all, but still you perservere. The harder I pull away from you, the harder you fight to try to keep me.
I am sorry, but our life together is over. We had a good thing there for a while, and I really don't think anyone will ever love you like I did. I'm sorry if you're just now realizing that, but there's just no way to go back.
You are too late.
sincerely,
the one you lost forever
