Given to her for strength
For balance
For peace
For love
My unconditional love, always
To help her love herself
Which I so desperately desired for her
And she so desperately needed
Custom designed specifically for her
Designed to calm her heart and mind
One of a kind for a one of a kind
Perfection on perfection
Once her source of comfort when we were apart
Now a source of pain and regret
Sadness
Hidden in a dark box, alone
Waiting for her to see the truth
Though we were not meant to be
It’s meaning remains
Some day, in a quiet moment of solitude
She will slip it on her dainty finger again
Smile and remember
Unconditional Love
My lasting love for her
Her ring
Insecurely Confident 
i returned mine – had it for thirteen years. he had it taken apart and made into a new ring for his current wife.

What a dick. 😡 Sounds like it was for the best if he is capable of that level of assholishness. Yep, my word. If Shakespeare can make up words, so can I. LOL I would have saved it if she returned it or tossed it in the trash. The monetary value is irrelevant at that point. But I’m weird. 🙂

yes, he is. he should have kept it and given it to the boys – our sons – someday. (and if i was her, i would not want it – ewww – she probably does not know)

I’m with words4jp, I would so not want something that belonged to the ex…
It would make me think I was a second best settlement acting as a replacement, rather than think I was loved

So true!! Some guys are just inconsiderate jerks, but don’t put us all in that category. The reality is, everyone can be a jerk from time to time. It’s the human condition. Nice to see your comment T. 🙂

On another note, this is really hard hitting. Whoever this woman is who you loved so much, she was so so lucky

Thank you. That is very kind of you to say. 🙂
PS: I still love her. Probably always will. It surprised me to find that it is possible to love more than one person on multiple levels. BB has helped me understand that concept. 🙂

Thanks, it was a beautiful ring with a very special and personal meaning. I can’t honestly say if she still has it, pawned it or threw it away. Not sure I want to know for sure.

I’m sure she still has it even if it’s never work. It’s probably buried in the back of a her jewelry box or safely hidden with other momentos.

I gave a ring back once. To my knowledge he still carries it in his pocket, a daily reminder to stay focused on what he loves lest he be forced to bear the consequences.

To have it given back would tear me up, because once I give a gift it is no longer mine. I would much rather she sell it or give it away or pawn it. And like the piece says, maybe one day she will dig through her jewelry and find it and remember the good and happy things not everything that was bad. Rose quartz has a very specific meaning and if you read back to my piece titled “Hate” you will see why rose quartz was the choice. If he truly does carry it in his pocket that may not be enough for you to change your heart, but it definitely gives you an idea of where his heart is. And that is something.
