Dear G,

Please don't remind me of the past--we were so young then.
We thought we knew what love was and that it was for love
we would live or die. Yes, we made promises...to love and cherish
each other forever....words like those.... We were all heart and sentiment but no brain. The world might burn to the last ashes but we wouldn't die in the flame as we were immortal,  made eternal by our shared love.

What passion, what ecstasy!  We were too young to dare physicality-
it would be impure--love is divine and shall not be blemished by 'sin'.
That love that's beyond the flesh is infinitely more beautiful than anything on earth and we swore to chastity.

I am sorry you divorced twice but marriage is no guarantee of happiness.  I hope life would bring smiles to your life and for that you should look forward to.

I can't thank you enough for introducing your best friend H to me-
we have had the most wonderful life together and I would never forget you for this.

Do not think of those days but be strengthened by the thought that
the universe is, all said, benign and not hostile.

It would make you happy if you would learn to banish me from your memory as I don't ever wish to cause your misery by your remembering me.

Yours...
