Indeed it is.
My xgf sent me this poem many, many years ago.
It is the only letter of hers that I did not include in the pyre. It is so eerily cold, so soul penetrating, so deep in its message that I could not burn it as I did with her other letters. I read it from time to time, to remember the deepness of her Love for me, and of my past failings.
That I let such a flower slip by my fingers. It encourages me, motivates me to be a better person, and to never hurt another woman as I did her...
It was my pride, my stupid pride, that made me walk away from her, while she was crying tears of flood. I could have embraced her one more time, I could have ushered words to comfort her, but I did not. My pride in needing to show her that I was 'final' prevented my giving of compassion. The memory of her face, her voice calling out to me, and her hand outstretched to me still haunts me from time to time.
I do not want to repeat such an event, ever again. It was my past failure. And I hope she has forgiven me.
