Open Letter to My (Former) Lovers

Thankfully in my 41 years of life there are only 3 lovers ever.. one at a time.. and this will be a reasonably short entry:

Dear Mr Ex
I know things were not great between us when we were married & I know you scorned the very fact you were married to me (instead of anyone else on planet earth), yet we have been a part of each others' lives for 16 years. I had enjoyed our conversations, our moments together and had thought in all my innocence that we would last forever. Well despite our best intentions or makeshift plans, things didn't work out. My only regret is that we could have ended our marriage much3 earlier before we made more mess- we would have affected just one life, instead of 5.

Dear N
Thank you for being there and for listening. Pulling me through a difficult moment. Nobody else would have had the strength or the patience or perhaps also the skill, to pull off what you did. You gave me a glimpse of happiness, of how married life really could be like. Alas, you have your own families to attend to, people you love as much as (more likely much3 more than) me. I terribly sorry but I can't live my life in someone else's shadow & my competitive streak will get in the equation- the sacrifice is too great for me to bear. So I bid you goodbye. You will always be remembered fondly.

Dear S
Hand to heart, you do not fit the profile of guys I usually go for. Yet I have a soft spot in my heart for you. I love your patience, your kindness, your passion & never ending energy. Are we good for each other? I hope so. Do we make each other happy? I do think so. Do we want to live the rest of lives with each other? I don't know. With you there seems to be no permanent plans. I do love your free-spirited outlook, yet I don't see how I would fit into your life or into your schedule. As we more or less agreed, let's just go with the flow. I will let you know if one fine day I decide not to play along with "let it be". So take care & I Love You.
