I miss being one half of a whole. I miss our names going hand in hand. Everything reminds me of you. I wish I hadn’t fallen in love with someone so hateful and abusive.
"Dear Old Love" is short, anonymous notes to people we've loved (or at least liked). Requited or unrequited.
The ex-husband in Grace Paley's short story "Wants" says to his ex-wife, "I attribute the dissolution of our marriage to the fact that you never invited the Bertrams to dinner." If you're bitter, that's the way to express it here.
