I miss you a lot too. It was the best thing for right now, but I know one day we will be friends. We were broken and this time apart has made us both better people, but I do not think it is because of the absence of each other in our lives. We made each other stronger, but hurt each other too much while we were learning how to love. I may not even be replying to you, but I know there are many former couples that can probably relate to these feelings. Sometimes even the best teams need a timeout, that is just the way the cookie crumbles. This isn’t goodbye, just a see you in a bit. —Timeouts are only temporary
