How do you write a letter to someone who broke your heart?

You have broken my heart, but you have not broken my love. I know you have it too, deep inside of you, and my love allows me to genuinely hope that you will understand it one day.

Thank you for being my source of happiness for so long.

Did you shatter my heart but not my love?
