seeing an engineer pour his heart onto 10 single spaced pages for his ex really got me thinking… this morning i woke-up with loads of things to do before i packed up my apartment and said goodbye to the new city that housed me for 6 months. here i met people who changed my life, i also met men who taught me about what i want in my future lover and exactly what i didn’t want. everything you can imagine. this all happened in 6 months and im so overwhelmed in the best way possible. during this time i met an engineer who then sent me this letter to he wrote to his ex. i had no idea that my day would be so flipped all because i decided to read this on the metro on the way to my final presentation. i didn’t even think i would have time to eat let alone process the ending of an era. but no, a 19 year old engineer wrote the most beautiful thing ive ever read in my life. tearing up on a metro. this letter simply has consumed my mind all day. and im not even the girl he wrote it for. this man and i are friends; nothing special. but this passage made me see something that is making me go crazy. i didnt know men had the potential to be this emotional. now i am writing poems because of him.
