Heart & Soul

Dear Heart,

We got hit hard today.

No matter how hard we try, it seems to have the opposite effect; doing more damage than any repairs. We've told him how sorry we are. Told him how much he means to us. Told him that our love has grown despite our sin, and that it is stronger than ever and will not fail him again.

But now, we are starting to feel numb; devoid of any emotion, whether happy or sad. And although we feel like crying, there are none that can be let out. They have all been shed.

We started this fight too late. We were not quick or swift enough to save what is most dear to us. That was our downfall. No matter how tight or long we struggle, his love keeps slipping further and further away. I'm afraid he will never return to us.

I'm sorry we let him down. But we are strong Heart. Despite our adversity, we will silently continue to fight from afar; on a different front.

We cannot force or convince him to return. We were probably even just fooling ourselves to think he would ever want to return to us. Why should he? He doesn't love us like he used to anymore. How could we expect so much from him? He will need to find that out on his own what his heart truly desires. He will need to make the decision of what he wants.

So for now, maybe we should retreat? Maybe even give up on our hopes and dreams? Cause reality is starting to set in....we lost his love.

Sincerely,
Soul
