Xian Lim poured his heart out as he bid goodbye to his relationship with long-time partner and now ex-girlfriend Kim Chiu through an Instagram post yesterday.
“Dearest Kim, thank you for the long years we have spent loving each other,” he said.
He then added that the 12 years that they have been together was the “greatest gift” he could ever ask for.
“We have expressed our love for each other to the fullest and knowing that I got to share those moment[s] with you, knowing our hearts beat as one at one point in our lives is truly something I will cherish for life,” he said.
And then continued with “Like all good things, it must eventually come to an end.”
Xian thanked Kim for everything — from the moments that they’ve shared to the unconditional love that they have both shared. He said that his respect and admiration for Kim will never falter — as a person, as an artist, and as someone who he “spent more than a decade with.”
“I wish that you will find all the happiness and love you are searching for. You deserve nothing but the best,” he said.
Xian concluded with “No goodbyes here, i’ll see you around petunia.”
