Search Results: getting back with an ex relationship

Dear [. ],
For about the past month and a half, I’ve done a fair amount of reflection and thought. It took quite a bit of debate whether or not to send this letter at all. I’ve thought back to that time you said you look back fondly at the time we spent together and I’ve started doing the same. I miss that, but not only just a relationship I’ve missed you.

The time I spent dating you was some of the best times of my life. There will always be a soft spot for you in my heart. However, I realize that this isn’t a situation just about me. You have your own views and opinions. My intention is not to beg or guilt you into anything. If it does come off that way I apologize now. I’ve spent a lot of time apologizing though and I’m going to own whatever this becomes. I’m going to make you (for lack of a better word) a proposal. If you desire I’m open to taking time and seeing if there is still any spark per say between us. If there is still potential, or if that well has dried up. Either way, I feel we could both get a level of closure from that. You don’t owe me anything. Not even an answer. If you don’t desire to do that you can simply forget this letter. If you do though, you know how to contact me.

As I finish off this letter I still don’t know what exactly brought me to write it. There is really no logical reasoning behind its origins. All I have is my instincts telling me to write this. And a recent friend of mine said that you should always follow your instincts even though they’ll end up getting you in trouble from time to time.
