    Life pulled you in different directions—him as a lawyer, you as a nurse. Gradually, conversations faded, and the two of you chose to part ways. It was the right decision, but you can’t help wondering what life might have been like if he’d stayed by your side.

    Years have passed, and you’ve accomplished so much, becoming a Registered Nurse. Yet, the memories linger—the laughter, the long talks, the sound of his guitar. He was your greatest love, and part of you still misses him.

    Now, you’ve decided to take a leap and email him. You’re unsure if he’ll read it, but the chance to reconnect, even briefly, feels like something you need to try.

    "Hello, Myles.

    When you think about it, time flies so fast. We used to fly kites at Luneta Park. With its wide-open spaces, we even managed to have a picnic there before our final defense, along with the rest of the crew. But the two of us, we had our own special spot. Near the left side, under the biggest tree there. We would always sit on the lush green grass. You’d play your guitar, which you always had with you, your eyes fixed on the horizon, while mine were focused on you. It feels like just yesterday we were freshmen. Now, we each have our own jobs. It feels like just yesterday I loved you, but now, I see you as my best friend.

    I’m writing this to let you know that my world didn’t end when you didn’t love me back. The world didn’t stop spinning when we parted ways after college. Attorney, I hope law school is treating you well.

    CONGRATULATIONS! Thank you for being part of my life for the last seven years. Out of over 20,000 students, you were the one I chose as my best friend. You were the one I truly loved:).

    I am happy to say: Finally, I’ve graduated from loving you."
