To my old love:

Maybe you’ll read this one day, or maybe you won’t. Nonetheless I want you to know that I still think of you from time to time. It’s been what feels like a decade since we last spoke, and that’s okay because I know that was the only way for you to move on. You see the thing is, regardless of how things ended and the different paths we chose, you were still a big part of my life back then. That being said, I’m not writing this letter to tell you I’m nostalgic about the past or that I miss who we were. There is just one thing I want to say to you- thank you.

Thank you for showing me that I deserve the very best. Thank you for loving me and always choosing me. Thank you for proving to me that someone can adore every single thing about me, even those things I don't think are very adorable. It is because of you that I never settled for less than I deserved. You showed me exactly how a girl should be loved.

Unfortunately sometimes you meet someone and spend months, even years with that person only to realize that you weren’t meant for each other; and that’s okay. I know you thought that I was the one and that we would keep running back to each other and I’m sorry that I proved you wrong. I’m sorry I couldn’t be that for you and I’m sorry I hurt you but God knows it was what was best for the both of us. Please know that there is not a tinge of regret or bad blood in my voice. My only hope for you is that with all this time and distance between us I’ve allowed you to become happy with someone else. I can say with confidence that you will make another lucky girl very happy one day. Never let the bitterness of our past or any old heart break change the sweet, sensitive, and kind person you are. I wish you the best always.

I’ll be seeing you
