Even though it has already been a year, i can't bring myself to say this to your face. I'd get interrupted and flustered and get my words all muddled into one long winded sentence with no breaths and no pauses until my face turned red and i would have to stop for a deep breath....apparently writing this letter makes me do that too.
i heard you found love, in a place you never expected to find it. and then there is me, who can't even find it in the most obvious of places. but enough about me, I'm proud of you. you've grown up, and i am living in the past. when i left you i figured i would embark on this whole new adventure of love and excitement. i got neither. but if i could have one thing in this world, it would be for you to be happy. with or without me. to know that when you look into someones eyes you automatically smile. i had that with you long ago, and it is a feeling i have kept inches away from my heart ever since.
so now you have found this love, hold her tightly, whisper softly and compliment her often. and whatever you do don't let her get away. she is only as beautiful as you believe, as smart as you think and as happy as you are. so every chance you get, tell her.
thats where i went wrong you see, i never told you. i never looked into your eyes and let them all flow out, and within no time. you were waving goodbye to me until i could no longer see you. i still can't see you.
so even though my love hasn't faded, i know our time together has. and i just want you to know that if i could catch you, i would.
