I know you miss him.
I know you’re thinking about him.
He was your first love —
your best friend —
your soulmate.
But you’ve got to remember all of the times he hurt you.
All the tears you cried over a boy who didn’t care.
You let him in again and again,
but every time you gave him a chance,
he left you with nothing but a broken heart.
I know you love him.
You always have.
But why would this time be any different?
Why would he suddenly change his mind about marriage and kids?
And what’s keeping him from changing his mind again?
What makes you think he’s really going to stay this time?
He never has before.
Being attracted to someone isn’t enough to make them stay.
He’s just going to leave you again.
You two fought about anything and everything.
Every aspect of your personality was the exact opposite of his.
People change, but not that much.
Your opinions never mattered to him — ever.
You deserve someone who listens to you.
Someone who treats you well.
Someone who respects you.
You deserve someone who doesn't leave when tempers are high.
Someone who’s willing to work things out because you mean so much more to them than any stupid fight.
You deserve someone who puts you first.
Someone who would do anything in the world to make you happy.
Someone who tells you how important you are…
how beautiful you are.
You deserve so much better than the boy who took you for granted.
You know you treated him like a prince when he never once treated you like a princess.
You’re probably reading this letter because he’s trying to come back into your life—
pretending like he’s really changed this time.
I know you want to believe him.
You want to believe that this is it —
this time it’s going to work and you two are going to live happily ever after…
but I don’t think that’s true.
You’ve cried over him for so long.
Why put yourself through that again?
I know you'll always wonder "what if?"
But you’re so much better off without him.
He’s just not worth it.
