I Miss You, Forever

(Here's another great story in a letter I wrote for a customer about her longing.)
 
Mats,

I miss you, forever.

I know it’s been six years, I know we’ve moved on, and I know I’ll never send this letter, but I have to get it out, let you know I think about you every day.

You came into my life so fast, chatting me up on international website, meeting me in Amsterdam, Paris, Florence…. You were a pilot, I was commoner, but you were my ticket to love on the world stage.

A misunderstanding broke us up, I think. I don’t know anymore. It had been six months, and I wanted to see you again, but I didn’t say it; instead, I played the breakup game in my text. You agreed wholeheartedly without giving it a second thought. You said we were too different, too far away, and it was all too inconvenient, as if any of that mattered. But I agreed with you just to hurt you. Then came heartbreak, surrender, and finally longing... forever.

I know what you did: You stopped time with you and me in it-- at the Amrath Hotel in Amsterdam, the DGI-byen pools in Copenhagen, the F train at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Your blue eyes pulled me into every room in your soul until I moved in and never thought of leaving.

It’s probably better we never see each other again. We are both admirers of unrequited love. Our mutual attraction?  Strength, courage, and faith needed to keep such love blazing in secret.  Anyway, we already have the magic of us -– the clock stopped, and our love stretched across all the world's pink horizons.  That’s all I need, even though my heart breaks a bit at the thought of never seeing you again,

Clara
