My honey thanks me often for being understanding.
There is a reason why I always try to be understanding.
After I broke up with him last year, he sent me this email.
It said,
I knew what your letter said when you handed it to me at the airport.
Those letters are always given when someone is leaving.
It was long too.
That means that there will be an explanation for something.
Long letters are not usually just "Thank you"notes.
When I got home I did not read it right away.
I took a nap first.
I got up again at 3pm and read it.
My only worry now is that since we are just friends, there will no longer be any incentive for either of us to move near the other.
I would like to visit you sometime, maybe Christmas when I get a week off.
I will talk to you about it later in the year.
I'll call you sometime and see how things are.
If you wanna talk, gimme a call.
Your Friend,
J
I couldn't believe how nice he was to me despite what I had done to him.
I got so busy with work later and so stressed.
I called him almost everyday and he just listened to me and encouraged things would be better soon.
Then it made me realize how important he was in my life.
I was so scared to lose him.
I read this email sometimes to remind myself how I should act..
People tend to forget good things that someone did for you and remember only bad things.
But this email is my anchor.
I wanna thank you for being understanding, honey
