We could have been just friends, we could have shared a little more, or you could have been my whole world and then some, but here’s a letter to you: the person who treated me less than I deserve.

I’m not sure where we went wrong, where things may have taken a turn for the worse, but they did and ever since then I have been thoroughly changed.

Until you came along, I never realized what it would be like to be treated any differently. Until you I didn’t realize what I should have been looking for in a friend, a lover or even a person. Before you, I thought being ignored, laughed at, lied to, forgotten, belittled was all a normal thing, something everyone was put through. But in reality that was all just a figure of imagination. After you, I realize that I deserved better. I needed more from a relationship.

Sad to say, but you may not understand the way you treated me, the way you made me feel on your off days or when you didn’t want to deal with someone like me. Sad to say, but you may look at my expectations as something to be laughed at when in reality; you would never understand this end of the spectrum. The side full of low expectations while you give everyone else the world.

I am sorry that I no longer accept the way you treat me, and I’m sorry you will never understand the pain you put people through. I thank you, however; for helping me realize what I need in a person and the type of people I want by my side through this crazy life. I thank you for all you have unknowingly taught me through the relationship we have shared.

I appreciate you, despite our parting. I wish you the best and I hope you are learning.
