I am still in love with your boyfriend. He was my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love, and unfortunately my first heartbreak. When things ended between us, it was one of the worst things that I have ever experienced. It was one of those things that made me feel as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest. It was a pain that I will probably feel for the rest of my mind whenever he pops up in my mind. I may be young, but I know that he was like my entire world.
This letter has nothing to do with me, but it is instructions for you. No, I am not one of those crazy, psychotic ex-girlfriends that you hear about. I am writing this letter because I honestly care.
I want you to love him with everything that you have in you, just like I did. He is afraid that people are going to leave him and that he is going to end up being alone. He will call you at three in the morning asking you if you still love him. Reassure him until you hear the sounds of his soft snores in the background. Remember to tell him that you love him before you go back to sleep.
Hold him when he will tell you he's fine out of the blue. That is his cry for help. Hold him tighter than you have ever done before and let him open up. It might take him a while because he is scared, give him time. Tell him that you love him and that you are not going anywhere, actually mean it. Trust is very important to him.
If you two happen to argue, I want you stand your ground and be stubborn with him. I want you to shout at him until all of his walls crumble and he sees why you are upset. Watch his ego melt away and watch the empathy take over. Show him that he is not the only one in the relationship who is fighting for what they want.
I want you to do what I did not do, trust him with his independence. I promise you that he is not going to hurt you if you let him off of a leash, he will come back. He always does and is loyal every single time.
Please love him the way I that I did not love him in the years that we have been together. Give him your heart but remember to leave some of your heart with you too.
The key to loving someone is knowing how to love yourself first. That is what I failed to do and that is why the relationship I once had, ended.
Love still has a while to find me but when it does, I hope that I am as happy as you are because we both deserve happiness.
Sincerely,
The Caring Ex-Girlfriend.
