To The Girl Who I Let Slip Away,
This letter is for you.
Even though we didn't end up dating, I still think about you from time to time. Even though I don't have you, I'm happy with where my life is at. I'm happy with where my life is at because I'm on my way to finishing school and then starting a job. I know you're on your way to that as well. Even though you're doing perfectly fine without me, I want you to know that I'm happy for you and where you are at too. I fully understand that I can't do anything to win you back, but I miss you.
Even though we're not together and don't see each other as much as before, you are still the awesome girl that I first met. In fact, you are a better person now than when we first met. The reason for that doesn't matter, but what I know is that I let you slip away.
I could self-deprecate further but that doesn't do anything to make me feel better about myself and it also does a disservice to the amazing person you are. I want you to know that I won't stop caring, or at least I won't stop trying to care about you. It doesn't require anyone's approval for me to be a caring person to you.
I'll still be your friend. I'll still be someone who reassures you. Who stands up for you. I'll still listen. I'll still be willing to answer any questions you have for me. If you don't have anything that you need to reach out to me for, that's perfectly fine too. I'll still be part of your support system even if I'm not the first person you go to. I know that we've been in limited contact and it will likely remain that way, but I'm always a call or text away. Whether or not we cross paths again, I will always think highly of you. I'll always think highly of you because we went to school together and did community service together. Most importantly, we got along really well. No matter what we are tomorrow, or 10 years from now, I'll still care about you.
