Letter to my beloved

Dear M

I am so sorry I did this to you. I am usually more cautious and vigilant, but this time I was reckless. Please forgive me.

You are now in the arms of some lowlife who professes his love to you. He caresses your skin with such vile thoughts! I cannot bear to think what he is taking out of you while brainwashing you with his breathless words of devotion. Yuck!

I feel violated. I feel defeated. There is no winning. I tried to find you, but they all told me to count my losses and move on.
The train left and did not wait for me.

Please forgive me this December as I started to court another. I found a younger lover to spend my days with. This one is endowed with more than you could ever have. I am ashamed for feeling happier. Please forgive me.

C
