Roses Letter to Adrian

Adrian

Some days are harder than others.

Okay I guess that can be said a lot and I know that I turned you away, but even though most of me, almost all of me is filled with a glowing happiness that you have found love. But another part of me doesn't. Some part of me hates you for it.

I hate that my love.. My Dimitri and I, don't seem to have the love that you share with your beloved anymore. I hate that I had a chance for someone like you and I let it slip away from me. But mostly I hate myself for not being the one for you.

A part of me things if things had just been different… If I had met you first... if I didn't know him, if I had let go of the past and focused more on the future… Could it have changed our outcome? Instead of this life we lead could we have found one together, and lived happier? When you hold her do you ever wonder the same thing?

You would never betray her. That's one thing I know to be true. And I could never ask you to, because even if we found our way together again, our future has been stained by the mistakes of our past. I have learned and grown from it, and I know you have too. I thank you, always for what you have given me, more than anything else I only ask you to try to forgive me someday for the things I have done wrong, not just to you or to us… but the mistakes I made along the way that impacted the ones around us. I have a lot I know I need to ask forgiveness for. But most of all I ask for forgiveness for the selfishness of something I cannot erase… I let Lissa down… I let you down. You all deserve better than me.

Know that I will love you, in my life and from beyond.
