Honestly, thank you.

Thank you very much for not allowing me to settle. Being involved with someone is not something that I needed at the time, and I think you knew that.

Your friendship was a great thing, you were there for me when I needed you, I always knew I could talk to you, all of those things that mattered.

I started to like you, a lot; and when I wanted more, you did not. And that is OK.

I honestly lived for a while wondering what was wrong with me to where I wasn't good enough for you, what I did that made you not like me. But now I get it, and it all makes sense. It just was not meant to be.

I was very young, only like the ninth grade, when I actually liked you. Thinking about that now I really see how silly I was.

To be real, you're the only boy I really liked back then, the only one that sparked my interest. I had a lot going on, playing ball, getting good grades, spending time with my friends.

A relationship is simply not something that was for me. They still might not be, and again, it's OK.

You helped me realize that I am completely capable of doing my own thing, and I do not need to be with someone all of the time to have a good time. I am a very independent woman who does not need to be in a relationship to make me a better person.

Again, I thank you. Being a friend of mine is all that I could have asked of you. I appreciate how honest you always were with me, and how you still valued the friendship.

I am very glad that I met you, and that we were (and still are) friends.

Even though it killed me at the time, I can see now that it was for the best. I understand why it didn't work out.

It's OK. More importantly: I'm OK, and I will continue to be OK until someone comes along that God has planned for me to take those bigger steps with.

It just so happened that it was not you.
