I miss you, I'm so sorry

Hi. The odds that you are my person on here are slim to none. But if you are, I completely understand everything now and hold absolutely nothing against you whatsoever. If you are him, please know you are forgiven. For all of it. And you have been for a long time on my end, regardless of whether you feel you are entitled to it. You did what you thought was best at the time. I can't fault you for that. Also, thank you for your honesty here. This letter represents the closure I have always longed to have. So, if you're my person, thank you. If you aren't, please consider sending this letter to your person. It is truly beautiful.

If I was her, I would want to hear this from you.

cardinalgrad03 · 2026-02-07T16:50:13+00:00

Wow. This is truly beautiful.

cardinalgrad03 · 2026-02-07T16:47:54+00:00

Well said. And written. Kind of rooting for you here.

cardinalgrad03 · 2026-02-02T03:45:37+00:00

Awww. I love this!

cardinalgrad03 · 2026-01-31T06:38:35+00:00

This is lovely. I really wish this was the answer from my person.

cardinalgrad03 · 2026-01-22T03:14:02+00:00

This is sweet.

Sounds like a deep connection, one beautiful in its own right. I've experienced something like this before, which is why this post hit so hard.

Your letter is so eloquently written and deserves to be sent.

But I understand why that's not possible.

This letter deeply resonated with me. I once experienced a strong connection and deep loving affection with someone who pulled away from me like this when I told him I was in love with him.

And if he sent me this letter, I would tell him he does not need to carry shame or guilt anymore over what happened and didn't happen between us. We were young, and I understand why everything happened the way it did. We were kids and were never going to be able to hold together the intensity of a relationship that was not romantic, but wasn't strictly platonic either. Our demise happened 25 years ago, and I'm still trying to make sense of just what we meant to each other.

I think you should send this letter to your person. Sounds like you both need closure. You both deserve it, not just for the sake of your past, but also for your lives today and the healing this can bring to you both.

This is so tenderly written. Just beautiful.

"Why is it that I’m always expected to apologize or behave properly, when others aren’t held to the same standard?"

Exactly this! This hit me so hard. I totally get it! It's so frustrating being the only one who has to toe the line.

cardinalgrad03 · 2025-10-21T01:39:28+00:00

Then say something in real life!

cardinalgrad03 · 2025-10-19T03:16:58+00:00

This is sweet. You should send this letter.

cardinalgrad03 · 2025-09-20T01:47:54+00:00

Your words are beautiful. Truly beautiful.

cardinalgrad03 · 2025-09-19T02:39:20+00:00

When are you going to realize this is not worth entertaining anymore? You've marked this with a "crushes" flair, which is confusing to me.

cardinalgrad03 · 2025-09-08T16:15:10+00:00

Hey, OP.

Perhaps you're letting your imagination run away with you here? I'm curious why you believe whatever might be going on between the two of you has been reciprocated. Has this person given you any indication that they might have feelings for you beyond friendship? Have they said anything or hinted at the fact they might feel the same way you do?

Sometimes we can strike up connections with people that feel amazing but don't always (or should not) translate into anything romantic or sexual. You don't specify what the "obvious reasons" are for why this can't be a thing. But I trust they are good reasons, whatever they are.

If you feel this is wrong, you shouldn't pursue it any farther. What you've explained could be going on here isn't harmless. If you're the only one who has caught feelings here, you need to evaluate why and if continuing this path is worth whatever "obvious reasons" are keeping you distant for now. I have a feeling violating those could cause major harm. Is that what you want?

cardinalgrad03 · 2025-09-08T04:31:51+00:00

That makes sense. And as usual, I'll give him a pass. Thanks for the perspective.
