To the boy I let break my heart one too many times,
First off, I would like to thank you. Thank you for all of the memories you’ve provided me with, both good and bad. For all of the laughter and all of the tears. You've taught me so much. Thank you for showing me what it was like to love and to be loved in return. Our relationship was an emotional rollercoaster and I am still in shock as to why it ended so abruptly. When things were great, they were really great. Being with you was the best part of my life thus far…but thanks to your sudden change of heart, that is all about to change for me.
Somewhere in our relationship, I forgot how to make myself happy. I made the mistake of constantly relying on you to provide my happiness, and whenever you let me down, I was nothing but miserable. I never should have given you that power over me, but I loved you. And when two people love each other, they're blind to each other's mistakes.
Thank you for hurting me more than I have ever been hurt before. You ripped me to pieces, leaving me confused and without any answers to help alleviate my confusion. I felt helpless and worthless- but I’m not feeling that way anymore. I've realized that it wasn't my fault that you didn't want me anymore. I couldn't tell what was going on in your head, and maybe I'll never know. So now I’m over it. My sadness has transformed into anger- and soon enough, I won’t feel anything toward you at all. I've spent way too many nights crying over you while you were out, pretending to be having the time of your life, not letting your loss affect you. And that is exactly what this is- your loss. Thanks to you, I’m better than I’ve ever been before. I’m strong, independent, and happy. I’m building myself up by finding simple things that bring me joy; something that you (as selfish as you were) forgot how to do.
So thank you ever so kindly for breaking my heart. Thank you for leaving me when I needed you the most and proving to me how incompetent you were. That was something that I had ignored for so long, no matter how much everyone tried to tell me. I’m so glad that I finally came to my senses. Thank you for teaching me how much I’m worth, because now I have no doubt in my mind that I deserve way better than you were capable of giving me.
Sincerely,
The best thing you’ve ever had and will never have the pleasure of knowing again.
