I have been heartbroken, and I would not wish that pain upon my worst enemy. I want you to realize that I did not mean to hurt you any worse. I think of you often. I see pictures of you every now and then in his room and notes that you left him in his truck. He could deny it all he wants, but I know he still cares about you -- and that's okay. Some people will always hold a special place in my heart, and I can't expect him to be any different. I don't have anything against you; if anything I'm a little apprehensive. When I find notes that he wrote to you, I see how much he loved you and how much he thought of you. I know it hurt terribly when he moved on and probably reopened some wounds you thought had healed, but please know it was never my intention to cause you any more pain.

Most current girlfriends have a lot against their significant other's ex. But why? I didn't even know who he was when you two were together. Although things didn't work out between you two, I know that y'all will always have a connection. He will hold onto memories that I simply cannot replace. I'm sure he still knows your phone number by heart. I'm certain he'll feel a little funny on your anniversary for a while. He probably wears things that you bought him all the time. But I've come to peace with all of this. It's something that is dealt with in almost every relationship, most just don't speak on it.

I know it's hard not only being apart from him after so long but his family as well. I understand that you may want to continue to have a relationship with them, and I am not opposed to that. You were a part of his family for years, and there's no reason for you to break all ties because you two aren't together anymore. I realize that you may not be comfortable with continuing your relationship with them now, but if the time comes that you realize you want to see them again, please don't hesitate. I'm sorry for being "that girl"... I truly am. Some may think I'm crazy for apologizing, but I've been in your shoes; I remember the pain. I just want you to know from the bottom of my heart, that I sincerely hope you find love. I hope your wounds heal, and I truly hope you're happy. If you're not quite yet, I wish you utter and complete happiness in the future.
