Dear Mr. My Knight in Shiny Armor:
Thanks for your Valentine’s Day greeting. I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day as well.
I have to admit that I’m surprised to hear from you this morning because you’ve disappeared for about 2 weeks – no calls, no text message, no Emails and no online chats. I didn’t know what was going on and I begin to wonder if this thing about us being together is really a prank. I was all for the idea of us spending the rest of our life together. Suddenly you were missing in action. Perhaps you got cold feet or realized that you didn't love me enough to spend the rest of your life with me. I honestly didn’t know what to do but could only tell myself that you were no longer interested and god darn it, shit happens. From the beginning I knew that a long distance relationship is likely to fail half of the time. But I thought faith could keep us together even though I loathed the idea of just kind of hanging there, not knowing what’s going to happen. You went from wanting to come to Taipei to meet my family to one week in Hawaii over Valentine’s Day weekend and eventually you just disappeared.
For awhile I thought I found my knight in a shiny armor. You didn't come through as promised. What matters is that it felt like true love at the time and that’s important to me. At least now I know what it's like when you think you've found THE ONE.
Five years ago it wouldn’t work because we were both so hardheaded but now we have grown up to be mature adults. We can be a happy couple if we want to be together. That’s alright. I respect your decision and besides, no one ever said it’s easy to maintain a long distance relationship. I thought I’ve found my knight in a shiny armor. I guess you had a change of heart then. I wish you well. Thank you for the fabulous experience. Knowing that I was once considered THE ONE for you is good enough for me.
