The Heartbreak of a Tempestuous Affair

The raw passion and painful realities of a tempestuous affair

By Zuleika BoekhoudtPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

Dear Nikolai,

My heart aches with the weight of the words I must write to you. Our love, once a raging inferno, has been extinguished, leaving only cold, ashen remnants in its wake.

The memories of our passion, once so vivid, now seem like a distant dream, fading with each passing day. The intensity of our love was a drug, an addiction that consumed us, leaving us broken and hollow.

We reveled in the darkness, clinging to each other as we fell deeper and deeper into the abyss. But as the dawn broke, we were left with the reality of what we had done. The light exposed the scars we had inflicted on each other, and the wounds were too deep to heal.

I thought our love was eternal, a bond that nothing could break. But now I see the truth. Our love was a curse, a poison that slowly and painfully destroyed us.

The tears I shed are not just for the end of our love but for the girl I used to be before I met you. The girl who believed in fairytales and happy endings. The girl who didn't know the depths of pain that love could inflict.

Now I must say goodbye to you and the shattered remains of our love. I must try to rebuild the girl I used to be before I met you, even though I fear she is lost forever.

Sincerely,

The Girl I Used To Be
