I know we haven't talked in a while and I just wanted to make sure you knew some things, OK?
1. I care about your happiness: First of all, I just want you to be happy. I know you, I know the pain you live with everyday and the hurt that enables you to grow close to a lot of people. You don't let many people in and I know it was hard to let me in. You trusted me to always be there for you and I am sorry if I let you down. Please don't ever let the pain of the past keep you from your happy ending, even if it isn't with me
2. I am still vulnerable: I let you in, in ways I have never been able to do before. I felt something so real with you. The connection between us may never fully go away because it was so raw and deep and you will always hold a place in my heart. From that moment I first met you, I knew that I wanted to know you; I wanted to know every happy, sad, dark and hidden part of you. I could never in a million years forget you or the memories we shared.
Yes, I am happy now and yes, I have moved on, but I still miss knowing you. I miss analyzing your feelings and trying to figure out why exactly you just shut down when we would argue or when you weren't sure what to say. I miss our deep conversations and the way you would pause and smirk before telling a story. Most of all I miss your spontaneity and your drive. This is the best part of you. The little random bursts of sweetest and fun you had that made me fall for you. Also, your ambitiousness that keeps you geared for the future, that will really get you far in life and I am so proud of you for that.
3. I will never regret you: Above all, I want you to know that I don't regret anything and I never will. I would not trade knowing you for the world. The connection we had and how I felt comfortable enough to tell you every emotion I've ever had was exactly what I needed. I thought dating you was the end of my search. I thought one day we would have a happily ever after that even Cinderella would be jealous of. However, in the end, all we have is the memories of the times we shared. We didn't work out, and that's okay! I know that wasn't the way we intended for things to go but life is all about the unexpected, right? I am sorry for the way I ended things, though. I am sorry for not having the courage to keep trying or having the strength to give us a second chance. Sometimes flames are too bright to last forever. Our relationship may have burnt out, but my respect and care for you will never die out. No matter what though, I do care about you. I just want you to be happy and to have everything you want in your life. You are such an incredible person and have so much ahead of you. Never forget that.
