To he who shall not be named,

First, I want to say thank you.

Thank you for reminding me what I don't want in a man. Thank you for setting me free from being with someone who would never love me the way I deserve to be loved. Thank you for helping me find myself and realize my worth does not come from being loved by someone else. Thank you for helping me realize my friends were right about you. Thank you for making me realize that if I was still with you, I could never be who I am now. Most of all, thank you for doing me wrong, because I would have never found the person who I am meant to be with.

Secondly, I want you to know I am praying for you.

I pray you find someone you really love and can stay faithful to. I pray you grow up and become a man and not just a boy. I pray you find the real meaning of love and the way the person you love deserves to be treated.

Thirdly, I want to say sorry.

Sorry you weren't man enough to break up with me in a mature way. Sorry I had to find out from your friends because they liked me better than you. Sorry you had to fake everything you said to me for weeks before I found out because you weren't strong enough or man enough to tell me the truth.

Lastly, I want to say goodbye.

Goodbye to the times we had together. Goodbye to all the laughs and inside jokes. Goodbye to the verbal abuse you made me think was normal to endure. Goodbye to the tears I cried over you and goodbye to the endless amounts of money I spent on you that could have been spent on much more deserving people. Most of all I want to say goodbye to the truly messed up relationship we had. I won't miss it.

So to the boy who I thought I loved, thank you for setting me free and for that I am fully unapologetic. Without you, I would have never found out what real love is or have the love that I have in my life today.

Finally, I have the courage to write a letter to you that I should have written a long, long time ago.

Sincerely,

Me
