Thanks...I was hoping with help with the entire entry. I am reading the second line as "So alone, I Love you but that was yesterday and I did not think to leave you." - newbie092509, Sep 25, 2009
tan solo is on the lines of "only". - NikkiLR, Sep 26, 2009

Does not sound like a break-up letter whatsoever. She said that she was not thinking of leaving you, and everything in the letter sounded positive. I had my boyfriend (a native), read the letter too, just to make sure that I had the translations correct.


My take was more literal. I thought it read more along the lines of: I am sending you this email to tell you that I do not want/love you. I alone, I love you but that was yesterday.

No, she wasn't saying that she doesn't want/love you. To us, it looked as if she was trying to say-

...para decirte que no te quiero, sino te amo más que ayer.

...to tell you that I don´t love you (the lesser of the two), but love (romantically) you more than yesterday.

Nowhere does it say, ¨"I am alone, I love you but that was yesterday."

Hello (technically papi means daddy), I'm sending you this e-mail to tell you that ** I love you more than yesterday, and I am not thinking of leaving you. I'll see you at 10 p.m., I'm going to church today. Today I went to the doctor, and everything turned out fine. I am going to give thanks to God, and fill myself with His presence. I love you a lot - Your baby

** Te quiero is less than Te amo. You would use it with friends, family, ect. So she is saying that the love that she has for you is more than that when she said no te quierro. Tan solo te Amo mas...

The grammar in this is not correct at all...:(
