Dear ________,
I sincerely hope I haven't hurt you, but I fear that my hopes are in vain. By now you know that I've moved on and found someone else. I've put aside the candle that I was previously holding in hopes that I could use it to reignite the flame that I thought once existed between us. Brief though it was, you and I had something once. When it started, I thought it would last forever. I wanted it to last forever. I was so ecstatic when it happened that I wanted the whole world to know about it. Please forgive me for not understanding why you didn't. As devastated as I was when you ended our relationship, I'l be lying if I said it came as a complete surprise to me. I had plenty of subtle and obvious cues that told me you were dissatisfied. I simply chose to ignore them because I didn't want to believe it could end.
I eventually came to terms with it being over and just had to move on with my life. I often feel guilty for leaving you behind and I hope you will forgive me. I only ever wanted to make you happy and I do hope that I was able to put a smile on your face at least once but I now realize that you and I just aren't as compatible as I once thought we were. I sincerely hope you find someone else as I have. She's simply perfect for me and we're planning on getting married in May.
As badly as I wanted it to work out between you and me, I'm now glad that it didn't. You are a wonderful lady, but just not the lady for me. I'm certain that you will find someone who is perfect for you and I hope you recognize that when he appears. You deserve to be happy. You will someday make a some guy out there a very happy man. I wish you all the best.
Sinceriously,
David A. Baron
