I wish I could say it was nice knowing you but you never gave me a chance.

I wish I could say it was nice knowing you but you never gave me a chance. I guess that really doesn't matter anymore. I don't understand what I ever did to you but the reasoning behind that doesn't matter anymore either. See, none of this matters because your existence that temporarily came between my best guy friend and I is irrelevant. It was pretty obvious you never liked me but I always hoped you would come around to. Not because I wanted to be best friends with you, but because I know the girl that gets along with me will be good enough for my best guy friend.

You threatened me countless times with your petty insecure comments so, because I didn't have patience to deal with your immature attitude, I decided it would be best to not talk to my guy friend for a short period of time. I say short period of time because I took a break from communicating with him knowing you would find other ways to ruin your relationship with him and I was right. Now I'm back in his life and he has moved on to another that isn't you. I can't honestly say I'm surprised. I knew during the time him and I didn't talk you thought in your mind that you won. However, that was your mistake.

The girl that is right for my best guy friend will not have to compete to win his love and attention. Why? Well because he isn't a prize and neither are you. Relationships in general aren't about winning. They are built on an equal amount of respect and trust. Something as his, "little sis," I knew from the first conversation we had that you and your relationship with him lacked. He isn't only my best friend but also a big brother to me. Just like the siblings we metaphorically are we don't always agree on each others views of others. That explains why you lasted as long as you did. If you got the vibes the few times we talked that I didn't like you, I sincerely apologize. I want the best for him and you weren't showing me that. I wanted to hear why you liked him so much and how you were different from every other girl he fell for. All that you said and did confirmed to me that you wouldn't last. Don't get me wrong, you deserve to be happy just like everyone else, just not with my best guy friend.

All the times you accused us and especially me of being more than friends just made me laugh. So when you do find that person you're meant to be with, I hope you can have enough trust built up in your relationship to know that the person you're with can have other female friends. If you can't find it in yourself to trust his non-romantic relationships with other females, just as you didn't trust my friend, then maybe you aren't ready for a relationship. That's okay though because I believe a person grows with each relationship they have because there are always lessons to be learned from them. Any girl that has a guy best friend will agree that we only want to see him happy just like we want all our other friends to be happy. One day he will introduce me to his new girl and I'll know if she's his temporary thing like all the others or his forever. I'll also defend him when she is in the wrong and knock some sense into him when he is in the wrong. I say and mean all of this with one thought in my mind. I know he would feel the same towards any guy I dated or I have yet to date. Just like any other friend he has my back and I have his.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
