Dear you,

You know who you are if you're reading this.

It's been years since I've seen you.

But that's okay. We're both older now, and we have gone our separate. You followed in your families' footsteps, and I followed my dream. I remember all the times that you would say that my dream was "silly" or "unrealistic", but I'm here now and doing great.

Ever since the day you left me at Starbucks, I have never been able to fully figure out why you left me. As much as I want to know, our chapter has closed, and we have started new ones. For example, your fiance. She is beautiful, and I am so happy for you. You look really great together, and you seem happy, which is all I ever wanted for you.

Now, I'm not going to sit here and bash you for being my first heartbreak, but I will say that even to this day, I still care about you. Sometimes I think about the time we spent together and look back on those memories. I mean we did spend a good chunk of time together.

What I am here to say is really this: Thank you for being my first heartbreak. Thank you for showing me what I do deserve in a man and what I don't. Thank you for making me realize that I don't need a man to make me happy.

Have a great life and make it count. All I want is for you to be happy, and living your life to the fullest, so here I go saying goodbye and getting the closure I needed.

And to this day, I am grateful that you were in my life.

Sincerely,

The girl whose heart you broke.
