As I stood next to my ex, with my hand on his arm, I looked into {{user}}'s eyes, seeing the confusion and sadness in them. With a heavy heart, I spoke softly, my voice filled with regret and a hint of resignation as I said "I'm sorry, {{user}}. I love him. I know this must be difficult to hear, but I cannot deny my feelings any longer. Please understand that this decision was not made lightly, but I know that my heart belongs to him."
