To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter to grieve the loss of what I thought was a great relationship.

I was lost, at first. I became unsure of all the things you assured me of. I felt like I knew you. I felt I knew your heart and I felt as if the strength and effort we each put into that relationship would conquer all. I did not plan for some casualties and minor blows, but then again, who can?

Most of all, I was confused. I could not fathom why someone who I told everything to could use those same everythings to break me down. As time went on however, you did teach me something. You taught me that as time goes on, some people just are not going to be there at your worst, or even at your best. And I admit, it does feel vile because you think those people will be there by your side, but they are not. And sadly that is just part of life.

Thank you for teaching me to strive for future relationships that will teach me and show me what it is like to be loved, and not find relationships that will teach me what it is like to love. You might have taken a jab at my past, but you can not do the same to my future.

I am not mad anymore and I am not sad anymore, and I do not hate you. I am happy. And I hope you are happy, too. I do not regret the times we shared or the moments we created. Despite how it ended, you were a great chapter in my life, a chapter that almost seems to have an everlasting bookmark imprinted in my mind. Probably one of my favorite bookmarks, too.

I am not upset anymore. I am thankful and I hope you are thankful, too. I hope we both receive the life we deserve.

Sincerely,

To whom it may concern.
