英文情书：Starting Over Again重新来过

 To: Adam ~ From: Tamara 

Dear Adam,

Tonight I write of love to you. I know that in our course of 5 years we have been up and down and just about all around, but yet, through it all we still hold on - holding onto a dream that one day we will be happy together again, the way we were before.

I know a love like ours people often dream about; that's why I hold on. To ease² my mind I need to know ... why do you still hold on? I cannot change the past but work towards the future. I see in my future you and only you. You're my sunrise and sunset³ - my whole being of myself, living only for you. You make my rainy day's seem happy and my sunny day's something to look forward to as I wake each day. I know I have yet to be perfect and maybe a little rough¹ around the edges⁴ but I know that I can be all you want, desire, and need in a lady.

We created a lovely baby made completely⁵ out of love, for that is why every day I look at her, she reminds me of the love we once held so dear. The day you packed your things and left, a part of my heart broke a little more through the endless tears and the unknowing of what is to become of us. It really had me afraid that this time, the end may truly be the end. But still we stay together, maybe not in sharing a home but still together, just to hold dear that true love can happen even to those whom have fallen a little out of love.

I am thankful we keep trying, for you are the most important person in my life and nothing will ever change that, my soul mate⁶. I love you so deeply⁷ that even words tonight cannot express them enough.

Love always,

Tamara
