To the boy I thought would come back but never did:

I waited for you. You didn't tell me to, but I waited. Our relationship was short lived. It was a flash of lightening, brightening my world but only for a moment. I never understood why you broke up with me. You gave me a lame excuse, and we never spoke again. Now don't go thinking I was a heartbroken wreck, crying myself to sleep every night, because I wasn’t. But looking back now, I realize that what held me together was hope.

Thank you for teaching me that not every breakup leads to a makeup.

For some reason, I believed that we would find ourselves back together again one day. Weeks turned into months, and months turned into years, but I still hoped. The guy before you was one of those on again-off again's, who walked in and out of my life as often as he pleased, so that is what I had come to expect. Thank you for being different, and not taking advantage of the fact that you had me wrapped around your finger. Thank you for being committed to not being committed. It took way too long for me to accept the fact that we wouldn't give "us" another chance, but now I am glad we didn't. I had to learn the hard way that letting go isn't temporary.

I can be happy without you.

Being with you was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of feeling. After our breakup, my mind was in a constant battle, wondering if I would ever again find happiness to the degree that you provided. I am here to tell you that I have. As a matter of fact, I have found even greater happiness. I no longer worry that the happiest days of my life are behind me.

I don't miss you anymore. I don't know what it was that made me keep hoping that you'd want me back. Maybe it was because you made me feel like the luckiest girl alive. Maybe it was simply because I loved you. Whatever it was, I've finally moved on.

Sincerely,
