*I'm so nervous to send this one...

Dear Zayn,

I feel terrible. For some reason I can't stop thinking about your break up. And for some other reason, it's kind of crushed me. You seemed so happy, glad to finally be able to spend time with her. How could that already be over?

I guess it feeds into my fears that there's no happily ever after. Even when everything lines up right. Even when one person makes sacrifices, gives up so much to be with the one they love...

What if that's my story, too? I'm sure you'll find love again. You seem like the type of soul who needs someone by their side. The type who would be willing to compromise and be there to support their loved one. What you've done for your family is evidence of that. The fact that one of the first things you wanted to do with your new found freedom is spend time with her is also confirmation. That's exactly what I would have wanted to do, if I had been in your shoes. And had a someone to spend time with.

Even though I'm so sad for you, I'm hoping this becomes a new beginning, filled with good things. Better things. I hope you find what you've been searching for, whatever or whoever that is. And maybe you'll realize that this was all worth it.

Anyway, my pain is probably worse than yours! Guys seem to be able to put things behind them so quickly, and here I am all worked up about a person who I've never even met!

Sincerely,

Sara

*Zayn, as I reread over this one, I'm struck by how much more I know you now, and how true my words from before seem to be. You haven't said it in so many words, but I can tell this did hurt. I can tell it was harder than you let on, even though you may have been the one to end it.

Writing to you has given me hope that my story might end happily. And I'm not crazy enough to think that someday we might meet, and our friendship can become...more. But I am grateful for how you've listened, how you've cared and understood. If that's all this ever is, I will still be beyond lucky. Thank you again, for everything.

Love,

Sara
