possible responses

Let's see. Out of all the things i asked for...
i asked not to be told over email or im.
my one simple request..

So, I got the notification via email.

I had a rush of emotions when i read it.
ultimately.. it was something i suspected would happen.
so i wasn't too surprised.
but over email?

Anyhow, some possible responses.

Bitter:
Dear Beth,
Fuck you very much for leading me on. I love you, but I hate you.
The End.

Bereft:
Dear Beth,
How could you do this to me? Why didn't you give us a chance?
Why did you tell me it was ok to fall for you and lie to me that there was no other shoe?
-sigh-

Strong:
Dear Beth,
I wish you the best. You deserve all the happiness in the world. I wish the timing had been better, but life throws you these curveballs sometimes. Thanks for everything. You still mean the world to me. I look forward to you getting back and hanging out.

And the winner is?

Dear Beth,
In spite of how things turned out... ultimately, I find that I do understand. I'm glad not to be waiting any more. Do I wish things could be different? Of course. You came into my life like a hurricane, turning everything upside down. You left your mark... I think you'll find that once everything is said and done, we will still be good if not best friends. It might be possible for that to be as soon as tomorrow. I don't know. It hit me hard. But I'll get over it. Like I've said before, I want you to be happy. If this makes you happy. So be it. Your beloved Heinlein said, "Love is that condition in which the happiness of another is essential to your own."
It's true. I make no excuses for how I feel/felt/still feel about you. But be happy. I think you have made the right choice. I never asked to fall for you. It happened. Everything happens for a reason right? I don't know what the reason is in this case... but at the very least, it doesn't change the fact that we met and were destined to have met. and that is a good thing.
I won't miss what we could have been, because it never happened. But I will cherish what will be.
I love you.
