I MUST CONCEDE DEFEAT


Sweet love,

I have loved you since the first moment our eyes met. You were wearing some silly polo shirt, and a smile that could charm the angels. You not only became my very best friend, but the only man i have ever loved. Your approach to life is so comical, and your friendly countenance just pulls every one in. Even people who dont know you, love you.

But there is an irony in this relationship. You have no idea that i love you, because you are in love with someone else. I have come to the point when i must concede defeat. I cannot compare to your beloved, and find that I am too tired to continue doing so. This i believe is a situation in which letting you go is the ultimate showing of love.

You may believe this to be a simple infatuation, a crush if you will. But I know whats in my heart. You see, i can feel you walk into a room. With just a look you can bring me to my knees. We have shared thoughts and dreams, that many would consider silly, but we consider real. Were it asked me, i would give my life to save yours. There is no hesitation in this, it just is.

I know that many feel that i should fight for you, for us. But if they just saw the way you and she looked at each other, they would understand that yours is a true love. A meeting of souls, that i could never hope to overcome.

Somehow i will continue to be the friend you have always known. And even though my heart crumbles in my chest at the mere thought of it, i will smile at your wedding. I will congradulate you on your first anniversary, and rejoice on the birth of your first child. I will always be their for you, even when I am letting you go. I will always, always love you. Even if you never ever learn of it, because for me it is inevitable. Though you may never read this letter, i needed to write it. I needed to say it, accept, and live with it. I do wish you the most of everything good life can give you. Very simply, I love you.

With all that i am,

Broken and Defeated
