Little did I know that the eloquence of your words could resonate to my loss in such deep and personal way. I believe that you could take your 3rd paragraph and probably relate it to your life once again, as well. That is a true statement of "full circle". <br><br>Your writing is beautiful; like a song without a rhyme. You've been blessed with the art of writing.

Very true. I think it's so much better to ante up and really put your heart into the relationship than to hold back so that a breakup won't hurt as much. Thanks so much for your note Otto. Very true.

Which is why you should be fully confident of better experiences yet to come. I tend to think that the greater the hurt, the more reassuring it is, for had you not cared so deeply you would not feel as badly as you do. The pain bears witness to the depth of your feelings, and it would be so much worse if withdrawal was easy, because that would mean one was incapable of feeling much at all.
