So maybe I am writing this because I really want to tell your new girlfriend how happy and supportive I am of her. Then again, maybe I’m simply writing this to tell you everything I didn’t. Who knows? Heck, maybe I am writing it for myself. Maybe I just need to get these words out to help myself get over you. Well, I’m still not over you but like I said, maybe this will help. It never hurts to get feelings off your chest, anyway. So, if YOU are the one dating my ex, this one is for you.

Well hey. I’m Rachel. You probably don’t know my name. I doubt he even mentioned me to you. Why would he? I don’t think he cared. I guess I wasn’t important enough to make it into his future. I hate to say this but MAYBE, just maybe, I’m jealous. After all, your new boy toy is the one who broke up with me. I still miss him and please treat him well. I also kind of hate you. Sorry, it’s just that maybe if he had not have met you he would have come back to me. I know I say that but it wouldn’t change anything. You don’t mind if I still blame you, do you? He was my first for everything so I’ll always love him, I admit I stalk your Facebook profile more than I should. I see how happy you make him and I envy it. He never looked that way at me. You’re pretty, I’ll admit. I won’t bash or judge. I hope he makes YOU happy — that is what’s important.

I hope you love playing with his beard as much as I did and the way he laughs when you say something silly or stupid. I’m sure you’ve met his dogs. Beautiful, aren’t they? I miss them running when I would walk into his kitchen and how sweet his mom was. I hope he doesn’t break your heart. I hope he treats you well but I know he will. He is the best. Since he met you, he hasn’t really talked to me as much. I don’t blame YOU. Like I said, you don’t even know my name. Now you know. So, thanks for listening and maybe your relationship with him will be better and more loving than mine ever was.
