For some reason or another, we didn’t end up working out. I’m going to be honest, I really don’t know who deserves the blame. I thought I did everything I could have to make us work. You, on the other hand, did not really try. There was always something missing from you: commitment. You were like a broken traffic light with all the mixed signals you threw my way. I definitely wasted too much time and energy on you. I think I blinded myself to your flaws; I tripped and drowned in all your pitiful excuses. You weren’t ready for the type of serious relationship I wanted to give you. You wanted to feel like you were in a committed relationship, but you also wanted to play the field. Did you really expect me to wait around forever for you? I hope not! I’m here to tell you that you missed out, buddy! I've moved on, and at least I can say I don’t have any regrets. Can you say the same? I used to have all these hopes on what “we” would be like in the future, but you had other ideas. When my friends would criticize you, I would actually defend you. Something along the lines of, “No girl, he’s just going through a hard time," or, “We are taking things slow.” How stupid of me! Sometimes I wish I could shrink my heart so it won’t feel so much for undeserving people like YOU. It took me a while to figure out, but you never were the one for me. Instead of stringing me along, all you had to do was be honest with me. Since you never were, I decided to put the same amount of effort into us as you did, and that’s why you haven’t heard from me.
After all the heartache, you ended up teaching me a good lesson. I learned to let people walk out of my life and nail that door shut behind them! Instead of trying to tear me down, you could have tried to better yourself. Don’t get me wrong. You are not a bad guy, you just were not ready to be a grownup. I tried to make you into someone you were not and, for that, I apologize. I know my worth and what I deserve, so I won’t apologize for finally putting me first. My standards were not “ridiculous,” what was ridiculous was your lack of motivation to meet them. I never asked you to give me the world, I had that already; I just wanted you apart of my world. One day you are going to look back and realize I was worth fighting for.
Also, I can’t entirely blame you because I should have known better. The best thing for both of us was me letting you go. The next time I meet another one of your kind I’ll be prepared. I appreciate the lesson you taught me because you did not break me; I was made stronger. Now I am working on myself and enjoying my beautiful life. Mr. Right will come along one day, and I won’t have to prove myself to him. I will never have any doubts, and he will make me feel like the queen I am. I guess it’s true what they say, “If you can love the wrong person so much, imagine how much you will love the right person.” Hopefully after reading this, you will treat the next girl better; she deserves the best. I wish you happiness in the future, and I truly forgive you.
Goodbye, Mr. Almost.
